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.

im going with 265/40/17 cause the sidewall is bigger than 255/40/17...the front are 225/45/17 on a 9inch and the sidewall is much bigger than 255/40/17 on a 10inch....for the front sidewall to be bigger than the rear looks wierd to me..so ima go with a wider tire

shit you can go ahead and put a 195/50/17 on a 9 or 10inch tire if you want..just to get that extra lowness and then roll your fenders to go the extra mile

I have seen 18X10 F+R with an offset of +19. Will 19X10 F+R with and offset of +20 fit? I have no problems with rolling fenders. Am i able to lower the car at all? Would a set of tein flex's bring the car too low and cause rubbing?

Thank you for the help

What would you guys recommend for wheels from this site: www.1010tires.com, looking for 17's for under $200 per wheel, what would you guys suggest would look the best on a midnight blue Mk3? im not really into chrome or black, I feel silver or bronze would look much better on my car.

Reason for 1010tires is because they are local and the best prices.

So far I like the bronze falken hanabi's for $165/wheel, seen them mounted "backwards" on a 240 before and they looked sweet, but hmm.. 42mm offset? would that be alright?

With a 10 inch wheel and a +20 offset you will need a fender roll. Fitments depends on the tire size as well. With a roll you will probably need a stretch on the tire using a 245 or so, any wider and you might need a fender pull.

That website seems to have a terrible selection widths for the wheels they offer. They have some good looking ones but 17x7 is useless. I would go elsewhere. There are more important things than price and convenience. lol

Yeah thats what I found too, local shops are too pricey, still looking for used stuff.. not a big deal though, I have body work that needs doing before I can even start to think about wheels, might just strip the sawblades and paint them a darker shade of grey.

I am replacing my rear 18x10+30 wheels with 18x10+24 ones.
Currently the rears have 245/40/18 and have a slight stretch to prevent rubbing, but with the new rears, the lip of the wheel is flush with the fender and it needs a roll, but im going to get the wheels lips refinished and get new tires mounted on them before they get mounted on the car.

Question is, does anyone have experience with this offset? And will the 245s work still or do I need to get a smaller profile tire to tuck the sidewalls in tighter? I tested out the new wheels without tires and its right there at the fender so the sidewall has to be sucked in a bit, so im thinking I might have to use a 245/35/18 although I prefer a slightly taller side profile.

Just dont want to get tires to find out they still wont fit in there.

Oh and I want to see if I can fit the old rears up front. Anyone know of any issues with a low pad (concave face) GT-C 18x10 up front?

I'm actually running 255/30/19 on a 19x10 +20 with the fenders rolled so you should have no problems sticking with the 245/35/18!
