245x40r18 with 18x8, fit a lowered speed3?
 

Hey guys. So, I am thinking of selling my 18x7.5 Enkei's and getting a wider set-up. I was thinking about an 18x8 rim with a 245x40. The rims I am looking at have 2 offset options, 35 and 45. My speed3 is lowered on H&R springs which are getting changed for coils but the drop will remain the same(about 1.5 inches lower than stock). What would be the best offset for this set-up and would the 245's be too wide or would I need to go with 235's? I am getting my fenders rolled either way to make more room. Thanks

If you're getting your fenders rolled... you'll be fine. To give you an idea, I can fit 255/45s on my car, no rubbing issues and a good two inches of clearance to drop the car if I want. This is without rolling my fenders. You should be fine. I'm sure you know that the 245s would be a better idea from the grip perspective, if you're truly concerned, talk to the people you're getting the tires from or look for tire conversion charts online.

If you want 245's you are better off with the +45 offset wheels.

Cool guys. I was thinking the +45 offset as well.
