oh snapple...a local guy is selling 245/40/18 Nitto 555's w/ 5k on them for $350! Will they fit with a roll and 3mm or 5mm spacers.

Wheels are 5-ZIGEN Fn01r-C 18x8.5 et48 for my 08 Speed3 with stock suspension for now. Soon Racelands or SenSen/eibach spring combo.

They will fit,but you will need to roll the rear fenders or it will rub. Thats the size I had before I went to 235/35/18. And you dont need spacers, should fit fine.

Well, the dude with the NItto 555s is alive and well. Just waiting for pics of the tires.

I have second thoughts about going 245/40/18s. I am thinking that 225/45/18s would give me a lil more sidewall(better for rougher roads) and will take less work to fit with minimal stretch.

45% of 225 = 101.25 mm

40% of 245 = 98 mm

The sidewall height is only 3.25 mm (~1/8") different (and that's if you're purely using math - when you factor in all the "fugding" there is with tire sizing, it's no doubt a wash).

run 235/40. its really no stretch, but you dont have the concave grids so a stretch is going to look weird on that wheel.

Stretch is for pussies. Get some meat on those wheels.

They're +45's. No spacers. I'm only about 6-7 mm from the coilover shaft on the fronts, but I haven't had any rubbing issues so far. I have some 5mm spacers I can use if it becomes an issue.

I'm no wheel guru, so I can't tell you for sure. My initial opinion is that if I can fit them on my lowered car with coilovers, you should be able to fit them on the stock suspension.

I'd recommend finding a local NATOR member with wheels similar to the size you want and ask them to let you try them on.

at +48 you should be okay...not a lot of experience with stock suspension. you may need a 3mm spacer, then you are the same as silva...so whatever prep he did you will need to do (most likely roll. maybe pull/grind rear bumper tab)
