What is the point of running stag wheels on FWD?

I think 18x7.5 is the best size. They are wider. You can run 225 or 235 easy. Plus you keep the good old steering response.

Okay im confused. Im running 225/40/18s on the stockers which i have been told are 18x7s. I thought they were 18x7.5s but whatever. If im running 225s surely you can run 235s on 18x8s or even 18x7.5s. Why are people running 17x9s and not running anywider tires? Doesnt that defeat the purpose?

Well i ask because if the stockers are indeed 18x7 then 18.75 should hold some 235s fine, which really opens up some rim options. I have only heard of one person running 245 i think.

You guys must not be that low than. i pulled and rolled my fenders and with 18x8 et 48 225/45/18 i was screwed. new tires fixed it 225/40/18

i just couldnt see the setups you guys are talking about fitting with anything but the mildest of drops.

IE:: something like these piks...




(pics of a 45et - 18x9 in the rear of my old '06 mazda3 w/ a 245/35 tire)

tryin got figure out what is the absolute widest i can do on my MS6... every1 is saying 18x9 - but i think i might be able to squeeze a 18x10 in the rear... @ least... heh

I run 18x8.5's +35 offset on my ms6. Koni's and sportlines. extreme roll in rear, no work in front. Sorry for the dirty car







Next step after this is 18x10 w/ 255-35-18. 245's are great, but I want more. I know it will need work, but oh well.

Wow, do you have more pictures? The stance looks great but can't see the car clearly with the pics.

Yeah, I got some. I will get some clean ones here soon. I just adjusted the suspension again tonight, and did alot of work with the camber. I will get some new pics tomorrow if is is nice. Thanks for the props. I don't think I will be, but I would like to me the first MS6 in 18x10's. It will not be an easy road...I know this. Offset, and width calculation are scribbled everywhere at work (wheel/tire shop). Took awhile to even get these to fit the way they do. Most +35's look like poo, I aligned and adjusted the sus 3-4 times, and 3 sets of tires later I think it looks ok. The pics above are already out dated..... Rear camber has been brought back in by .45 degrees rear. Now at -3.0.

please list what tire you are running with your wheel size- it will be a lot more helpful since different companies tires have varying widths for each size (e.g. dunlop's 235 may be wider than falken's 235). so you might not rub with a falken but will rub with a dunlop.

As for the offset ??? they were sitting in the workshop for so long. I thought if they fit I'll use them & there you are.
