8.5'' Wheels
 
I want to go with a 18''x8.5'' wheel if its possible to fit without any major problems. The wheels come in +30, +45, or +48 offset and I want to know which of these options would give me the best, flush fitment without rubbing (if thats possible). Also the car will be lowerd with the Eibach Pro kit, so will this complicate things? Thanks in advance for any input.

kotez 07-23-2009 09:16 AM

Why bother with 8.5" wide wheels if your only going to run a 235 tire?

They are not made in 18x8, plus I figured 245 would really be pushing it.

I run 18x8.5 with 35offset and was running 245s. I am now on 235s and rolled from and back, slight pull in the rear. Fits great. Only rubs the inner felt liner when full of people. E sports with koni yellows.
