18 x 8.5 front 22mm offset
18x9.5 rear 25mm offset

or 18 x 8.5 front 32mm offset
18 x 9.5 rear 35mm offset.


Which would overall be better for that flushness? I would assume to be safe to go with the set with the higher offset then add spacers to adjust but they seem to be sold out everywhere and is a waiting period for them and only the lower offset set is available. I do not really want to pull or roll my fenders, just flush with stock fitment.


also which tires sizes would i be able to get away with?


and these are adr spartan gloss black if anybody has them or know where i can find a set plz pm me.

It can probably clear with a fender roll. If anything it will be rubbing on the inside. I had a 9.5 +15 in front with a 245 RE01R so it was fat and I didn't rub on the fender with a roll and pull though.

Even with H&R springs?

Thanks,
Jim

Just looking for confirmation before I take the plunge here...

Fronts: 18x9.5 +35

225/40/18 or 245/40/18?


I know for the rears that I can go pretty big, something like 275/35/18, but I'm looking to get the largest contact patch/fattest tires on the fronts that I can without having to roll the fenders while lowered on H&R springs...

Also, are there any downsides if I do have to roll the fenders? I'm worried that the fender liners are there for a reason, don't want to have to lose them...

Not sure if this has been asked, might even be a dumb question, but how are the Tirerack.com wheel kits? How do they look, do they sit in to far or flush? they go by the stock offset, right? any pics?

Why is everyone being such babies about rolling fenders? If you want to fit bigger wheels and you want the car to look cool, it's required.

Complaining about this is like complaining that you have to run an aftermarket intercooler to make more power.

Just deal with it.

And I'm pretty sure every fitment question on this page has been answered at least 8000 times in this thread already. If not, it's simple math, like 3rd grade math.

how would 17x9 +35 in the front and 17x10 +12 look???? with 245/40/17 in the front and 265/40/17 in the rear

A little stupid I think. You cannot lower the car much. I have 17x10 and +14 with 255 on the rear:

Im looking at 5-Zigen FN01R-C Hot Version - Black - Matte Black

Front: 18x8.5 +30 -> 255/35/18
Rear: 18x9.5 +35 -> 275/35/18

I would like to get the fatest rubber up front possible as these wheels will be accomadating the willwood 13" bbk.

Everything i've read seems to indicate that these sizes/offsets wont rub as far as the rim is concerened, what about the rubber? Stock ride height for now. Thinking about coilovers in the future. (possibly Megan)

you prolly arent using the right size tire..you can lower your car..just stretch the tire..

i just got some 5zigen fn01rc the other day..fitment is great..basically flush

17x9 +35 in the front..225/45/17..but that was the wheel came with ima go with probably 225/40/17 instead..

17x10 +12 in the rear with 255/40/17..also came with the wheels..but ima go with 265/40/17 so the sidewall on the front and rear look the same

So you suggest using 265 instead of 255 to stretch the tire? Can you explain how using tires that are 1 cm wider can result in more stretch?

Are you sure about your sizes? +12 on a 10 inch wheel can't be flush, when +14 on a 10 inch wheel isn't.
