Motegi MR122
 
Thinking about getting a set of these and I have some thoughts/concerns. I am stock and wanna keep it that way for right now except my wheels. Wanting to know if these will fit or if 20's will fit.

18'/9 with a 45 offset
18'/9 with a 35 offset
18'/8 with a 35 offset
18'/8 with a 45 offset

or

20'/8.5 with a 35 offset

I'm not a genius by all means, but I think all of these will work without a fender roll (depending on the tires I get of course).

Here's a look at a set on ebay. What do you guys think? What size should I get if I don't want to have any problems.

18x9 +35 with 245/40 is a great combo, no fender rolling needed.

jdenman03 04-05-2011 12:53 AM

I guess I could stagger them and put 8's in the front with 9's in the back.

RX8Soldier 04-05-2011 12:54 AM

^+1
And please, don't even consider 20's... :)

edit: I was +1 to Ross Dawg

Negative... stick with 9's all around.

I'm a ninja foo :lol:

jdenman03 04-05-2011 01:09 AM

well I was gonna order them thru wheelsnext.com but they won't let me buy 18'/9 and get the tire combo, so I guess I will call them tomorrow.

jdenman03 04-05-2011 01:13 AM

1 last question guys... and thanks for the help thus far.

Will 19'/8.5 with a 30 offset work or am I pushing it now? lol

Ross_Dawg 04-05-2011 01:17 AM

Will fit no problem with 245/35/19 tires.

Been there, done that :)

jdenman03 04-05-2011 05:18 PM

Thanks for the help guys. I ended up going with a set of hyperblack ENKEI gtc01 18x8.5 with a 35 offset wrapped with Falken FK-452 225/45/18 tires. I'll post pics up when I get them installed. Got them for a steal! Actually so cheap that i ended up getting a carbon fiber hood as well.:rock:

Ross_Dawg 04-05-2011 10:11 PM

Some 245/40's would have been the ideal choice, but you can't beat dirt cheap! Post some pics when they arrive :)

Actually man I was wrong. They gave me staggered tires for some reason. 2 of them have 245/40's and the other have 235/40's. I put the 245's in the back and the 235's up front. Wasn't gonna ship them back over it.

Now should I get some red tuner lugs to match?

here's some pics:

looks like i'm gonna have to get some coils and drop it too.

Ross_Dawg 04-06-2011 11:46 PM

Nice, perfect color choice

monchie 04-07-2011 01:00 AM

Yeah, drop it likes it hot!

laythor 04-07-2011 01:40 AM

stock lugs just look all kinds of wrong on nice wheel like that
