I'd rather have the +35 to be honest. And 245/40 tires

Hey, I'm looking to buy a set of wheels from a member on here, the dimensions are:

F: 18x8.5 +35, 235/35R19 tires

R: 18x9.5 +35, 255/35R19 tires

He claims to have no rubbing issues on stock springs. My car however is lowered on Tein S-Techs. Would I have an issue?

(F/R) 18x9.5 +23 with 225/45/18 will it fit? Will I need to roll fenders?

Lower it first. Those wheels with 245/40 is doable but will require more than rolled fenders and you will have to be pretty low to not look like a ricer douche

Hmm, did you need to do any work on the fenders or? How low were you able to go?

No issues at all, 19" tires always work well on 18" wheels........................

Ah hell, sorry, I think I'm the retard here. The wheels are both 19's, I have 18 on the brain for some reason. Do you think they'd work out?

Hey guys! I'm new to the site and I'm not too savvy with cars. I'm sorry if this came up before (I'm cretin it must of). I'm looking to purchase some either 19" or 20" rims for my Shinka 8 and I'm wondering what size wheel/tire combos there are that will fit with zero rubbing and won't need the fenders altered. I'm talking width, offset etc. Basically just direct replacement with no issues. I'm asking in regards to stock suspension and height. From what I'm reading, the 20s might not be easy to do, but either way, I'm curious. Please educate me or point me in the right direction.

^Agreed..

personally i think 19's CAN be done right (Iv'e seen very few who have), but even that's too much "show" for me. But 20's is really big.

I'm cool with 19's I just wanna know what I can put on properly without hurting or altering the car.

Hey all, I have a wheel/tire setup off my 93 RX-7:

17x8 +22 with 225/45 fronts
17x9 +27 with 245/40 rears

Running stock suspension on the 8, can I get these to fit?
