just ordered a pair of 18x7.5 wheels, now i need some advice form the guru's on tires.


The wheels are 42mm offset, and i have 15mm H&R spacers all around which brings the true offset of the wheels to 27mm. Will they rub with 225 size tires since i'm dropped on tein s techs or should i go with a 215? Slightly streched i know.

 

Anyone with 45mm wheels with 20mm spacers running 225's?? Or anyone with 40mm wheels running 15mm spacers with 225s?

 

Prototype. Couldnt handle the 19's and now you go for some 18's that you need to run spacers with? You need to come back to the 19" world and get that car boosted by DEZOD. As fas as the info you have provided 30mm is the most offset to run with the tire choice you want. I would still say rubbing will be an issue... so get your 19's back

 

more like the car couldn't handle the 19s man. I don't NEED to run spacers. I just ordered some 15mm spacers and planed to just run them with the stock wheels, THEN the oppurtunity to buy some very rare wheels came up and i took it. The wheels are 42mm offset and anything 40+ is just fugly to me. Only way to find out if these wheels will rub is trial and error. I'm gonna order a 215/40-18 tire, mount it to 1 wheel and find out the hard way.

 

I have the funds right now but i'm waiting for a few points on my insurance to drop of soon. I can't afford another ticket at this moment.
