Question about new rims. Width?
So I am kinda looking for new rims for the future. I think I have decided on what I will be getting. But i'm not to sure about the width and offset? My questions.
1. I am thinking about running with a 18x9.5 25mm on all four corners. I kinda of like the Rota P45's. Yeah their rotas. But i'm not looking to spend a arm and a leg on these things. I am sitting on JIC Magic flt-tar coilovers. So I have about a little under a finger of space between the tire and the fender from the side. What issues will I run into with rubbing ect? What will need to be done to correct this if rubbing does occur??
2. How will the width affect my performance? Honestly, I drive this thing like I stole it. Also, I plan in the future tracking it once or twice.
I'm really just looking for recommendations/advice.
I have read tons of threads and can't get a good clear answer. And I really doubt i'm going to get one here. Just looking for help!
Thanks alot guys

Try "will it fit" thread if you haven't already :D but I don't think that with that setup you'll need any crazy amount if work to fit. I THINK simple roll would do (assuming you're not going to run some ridiculously large tire hahah)

Really just depends on how much tire you're running. smaller the tire you run, the less you should rub. If you put a 225/35 or a 225/45 on them, which is a mild stretch, you shouldnt have an issue with rubbing. If it does still rub, it will only need a very minor roll.
In terms of performance, rotas are pretty heavy wheels, so you will technically lose some performance (theres an entire thread based on this matter somewhere), but it really wont be noticeable during street driving.
