Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

[rodel]

Anyone know what size I will need?

3/8" is almost 10mm. Just get some 10mm spaces that come packaged with longer studs.

Will these fit good?
Front: 18X8, offset 20 Front tires: 235/40 BF Goodrich g-force t/a kdw
Rear: 18X9.5, offset 35 Rear tires: 275/35 BF Goodrich Drag Radials

Thanks,
Josh

You'll be fine.

Uh oh! Sounds like someone is looking at TSW's! 18x8 f will rub both the inner fender liner, and the wheel well edge, unless you roll the fenders! I had that same setup on my car, and currently have 17x8's that have a 20mm offset via a 15mm spacer. They were rubbing badly over any sustained compression at freeway speeds. Had the fenders rolled, problem gone!

Looks like this thread is going alone nicely. I haven't been on here much with school and work but it seems like a few of you are keeping this a live very well.

Hello All,

Looking @ 2 different set ups:

1) 18x9 +30 offset front w/ 18x9 or 10 with +20 offset rears

2) 18x9 +30 offset allround with maybe a spacer in rear.

Will this work and what tire sizes do you guys recommend.

Thank you,
Jim

18x9.5 +30offset all around,would it work in the front?

 

[queenskid926]

18x 8.5 in the front with 20mm offset and 18 x 9.5 in the rear with 25mm offset.

any issues? will i need to roll the fenders?

 

[Sawbladz]

Both of you guys need to tell us what size tire you want to run.^^^^

 

[BorHor]

Sure they would all fit.. But it it is all up to the tire size you want to run as Sawbladz is basically saying.

Thats my problem (next to drinking) i'm not sure what tire size to run. I'm looking for something that won't rub badly in the front and in rear.

Thank you,
Jim

With a 9 or 10 +20 you will only be able to fit maybe a 245 in the rear my guess is less without extensive rolling. If you go with the +30 in the rear I think you can go up to a 265 or 275 in the rear.

Thank you for the help, I appreciate it.

If i go with a 18x9 +30 in the front what tire size would you reccomend?

Jim

 

[Sawbladz]

I would say 255.

EDIT: Just to add to this. Upgrading to an 18x9 with this size of tire will drastically affect your braking performance on stock brakes in a bad way. This combo will be heavier than what it came with stock and the stock sized rotor and caliper will have trouble keeping up. They will fade faster and stop longer. Keep this in mind when considering wheels.

ok new setup that im consider buying is not a 20 offset any more there are

18x8.5 with a 32mm offset in the front and 18x9.5 with a 35mm offset in the rear,

Which tire sizes can i run without rolling the fenders?

i was thinking off 245/40 up front and 275/40 out back

ps im on eibach springs

 

[Sawbladz]

Sounds good to me.

Would be ideal and your going to eventually wanna lower the car afterwards.

 

[reaper_mk3]

well im buying a used set of wheels and that size tire is on them already, i just want to know if they will be ok untill i can buy new tires.

 

[SUPERIUM]

what tire size will fit in the front with a 18x9.5 +30?

Judging by your sig that your car is lowered fairly well I really dont think 18x9.5s would fit up front without having some kind of rubbing issues. 8.5s would fit nice with a 245/40 tire.

wat tire sizes would be ideal without me rolling the fenders? I was thinking 235 or 245/40 up front and 275/40 in the rear, maybe a 35 tire in the rear
