18's? Width?
 

I've searched the forums...and came up short with an answer.

I'm going to be purchasing some 18 inch wheels soon, not sure on which ones yet. But my question is, whats the widest I can go without rubbing on the front or rear. Is it possible to have 18x8 (maybe 8.5) up front and 18x9 (maybe 9.5) in the rear? And If I end up with 18x8...whats the widest tire i can put on it...225/40/18?

18x8, 224/40/18, ET35

no fuss no muss

224's FTW! :rolf:

18x8....although accroding to the tire rack, we could go 18x8.5 all around.

:word:

Safest size choice....shouldn't have any interference problems with stock or about a 1.5" ride height drop :y

So that 18x8, 224/40/18 will work even with H&R sports and Bilstein HDs?

my ***** is custom, son! i was rubbing, so they hooked it up for me...!


yes, 18x8, 225/40/18 should be fine with 35 offset... look at zorro's car, and he doesn't even have the fenders rolled...

haha i was wondering about the whole 224 thing :rolf:

yeah, i plan to get H&R's from tirerack soon...so it will still be good with lowered stance?

rooney is selling his h&r's, you might be able to save a couple of hundred bucks if you buy his... put that towards rims or something

225 40 18's on 18x8 ET35 for you mere mortals.

215 40 18's on 18x8 ET 35 if you are as low as me. No fender rolls, nothing. Rock it like the casbah.

Widest size for the front is 18x8, rear 18x8.5 (ET44). Minimum offset should be ET35, better if you can get an ET44 offset, 225/40's will work great, lowered or stock. On broken sets, 245's for the rear will be no problem.

18X8 ET35 with 225/40-18 present no interference problems with a 1.5" drop.
This is what I am running.

Awesome :) good to have on paper for some day when I can actually buy stuff instead of just oogle at your guys' cars :D
Not that theres anything wrong with that o_O

my first set of wheels were 44 offset and they wouldn't bolt up to the front hubs because the back of the wheel was contacting the caliper. it probably had a lot to do with the design of the back of the wheel, but something to keep in mind

You straight up ballin B.

Here, tune into this join right here son,

okay...final question to make sure i'm clear...I can run 18x8 up front (215/40) and 18x8.5 in rear? And what's the widest tire size i can go on the rear?...225? 235? 245?

235 with STOCK suspension.

I love the song, Premo can make anyone sound great on his tracks

No doubt, he would make britney smears sound good.

Off topic but in that rap video I LMAO at all the green screen backgrounds.

Zed, What brand were they?

STLe320, like what RBYCC said you can run 225/40's up front on 18x8's. But if you have a choice get a higher offset just to be safe. For the rear, 18x8.5's with 235 or 245 would fit, would just depend on the brand you're getting. Choose the brand with a flat sidewall.
By the way, if you're planning to get 8.5's for the rear, you have to get a broken set, 7.5 fronts & 8.5 rears, since 8.5 all-around would be no-no.
Good luck

Zorro "Z" or Zed "Z"

Either way, we are t3h funnyz. LOL away!

no Zeddie monster, LOLzies @ Zorronie

they were the replica mono 2's. pi$$ed me off too, it took me weeks to get them, and find time to mount them. and then hours to jack up each corner with the factory jack and replace all 4 wheels before realizing the effing car wouldn't move, and then undoing it all until 3am. and then months to try and sell them so i could get another set of wheels. it upsets me just thinking about it... wheels pi$$ me off, f**k wheels man, for real.

Damn son, you need to spark after that one. :)
