Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

[magnumrx86]

18x10 +12 offset front with 265/35 tires, 18x12 +17 offset rear with 315/30. obviously not a good fit if you don't intend to modify fenders, however i'm doing guard work and running bolt on flares.

without rolling fenders, Would 245/40/17's on 17X8 wheels with a 35+ offset fit with a 1.5" drop in the front? If not, what would be the biggest/widest tire size that wouldn't rub the wheel wells?

Enkei RPF1 17x8 +35 and 17x9.5 +38 tires are 245/45/17 and 275/40/17

Really aggressive offset but damn it looks good lol. can you push the car the way its set up?

going to be buying some new Varrstoen ES7's 18x9.5 this fall sometime

running 245/45/17 front, 275/40/17 rear currently
want to run the same size tires, just in 18's

i want to run just a little (not much) camber in the front, and same thing in the back. -1* i think is what i want.

i think +35's will fit great but they also offer +22 in the same wheel
i want an almost flush look, but will clear the fenders at full bump

any ideas what offset will look better for what i want

^, go with 18x9.5 +22 rears with a 265-35-18. you might have to roll the fenders, but that's it. i have 18x9.5 + 15's right now with 255-35's and they fit great.
also, i'm lowered on h&r race springs...... they are pretty low for springs.

 

[sheedy126]

I don't think I want to go down a tire size in the back, I have traction problems as is and am shooting for more horsepower. Would +22 be flush or poke out a little bit. 35 might be a better option for me

Go +35 all around. You should be able to clear 275 all around. A friend of mine cleared 18x9.5 +34 all around with 265 all around no rubbing so 275 should clear. I'll see if I can find a picture.

with my +35 and +38 I don't have any problems but I am on stock suspension.

 

[hvyman]

You could possibly clear 275 with +22. Depends how low. I clear 275 with +25.

Also better quality tires make a world of difference than just size.

i was thinking of going with nitto NT05 tires as well (since im going from 17 to 18)
much better rubber than i have now, i bet i could also go down in size since its a better tire.

good point

ill have to do a little more research and see what offset will work better for me, and the new tires i choose to go with

 

[hvyman]

+22 and 265/35 will fit nice.

Can run same up front but will need a 255 prolly.

Front
18x9.5 +12
255/35

Rear
18x10.5 +22
265/35

Tein Coilovers
Rolled fenders

No rubbing so far. Haven't taken any hard corners or on ramps yet. But I'm confident they won't rub. Going to get an alignment and corner balance soon.

I should have gotten 275 or even 285 in the rear, but these were tires I had laying around. Figured I would see what I can run and get better tires after. However, these are temporary wheels and got them just to get a better feeling of what sizes I can run. Permanent wheels are still being worked out. I want to push the stock body to the limit without major fender work or over flares/fenders.

Thanks! Definitely didn't expect that response. But I've been doing research in this thread and test fitting what can work. I'm always happy to help out a fellow car enthusiast! I'll have another part when I save for what I really want

Dont know if this has been asked already im new here on the forums, but what's your guys opinion on the my set up i bought my car with i have 18' wheels 215, r35 up front and 225 r40 in the back. Should i stick to that or what would be a good wheel setup for a daily driver. I believe the wheels are 18x7.5

Looks pretty good but personally id like a bit more tire. Might be easier on bumps and would probably perform better too. Just not quite tall enough for me but that's just imho. But its more about what will fit in those well's without rubbing and how big of a tire will fit on a 7.5"

 

[hvyman]

Looks good aj. Should go like 1/2inch lower

 

[gsxr141]

any thoughts on 18x10 + 44 all around?
i think the rears would work fine, but i'm not sure about the fronts.
