Lots of members went from 225 to 245 on the S1 18x8 wheel so you should not have any issues with the 19x8 R3 wheel

i have been looking into buying new wheels, im sticking with 18x8's on 225/45's. I also don't plan on lowering my car unfortunately because of the area i live in, but what offset would have the wheels flush with my fenders?

thanks, i appreciate it

I guess aggressive in my eyes is top flush with camber set aggressive.
I used Need 4 Speed. They are located in Cali but they are super informative. Edgar really knows his stuff. I bought MRR GT-5 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 wheels from him a few years back. no issues with rubbing with all stock suspension setup

Looking to buy the new xxr 530.
Specs: 18x9.5 +20 All around with 225/45's.
WILL THIS FIT with rubbing? I want to roll fenders and lower car about 1 1/2 inches?

Maybe trim your rear bumper tab too. Won't look very good though

deciding to go in a different direction..

18x10+35
OR
18x10+25
OR
18x10+20

front and rear on 225's (eventually will switch to 245's, or put the rims on the future FD) On 2 inch sprint springs drop.

Will it fit?

this is how i sit now on 18x8 stock rim to give you an idea.


REAR

FRONT

I had a response to your specs but it didn't include a 225 tire so I deleted it. I wouldn't do it man, save up and get some 265/35's and get the +35 offset. You will have to roll it though. Your handling will be awful with any of those offsets and a 225 tire. A 245/40 will work as well (+35), but you may have to do more work in the front than it seems you want to do at the moment due to your ride height. I recommend going with a wider 245 tire if you do it. I.E. Star Spec, RS3, but that depends on your budget. Just my two cents, if your going to get new wheels why not save up some money for tires and do it right?

I need some help here. I just went rally racing for the first time, and had a ball. I have some questions about negative camber, can it be set with the stock set up? ('06 auto, sport susp). If it can, what shoud I have it set to? I also have stock rims, and need to know what size tires would be best for the track. I would like to go to 245 40 zr 18. Will they fit w/o rubbing?
Thanks for your help with out a ration of crap.

Stock alignment specs are negative. 245/40 on the stock wheels is probably more common than stock tire specs

Hell no I mean if you want to do body work then you can make it work maybe. But on stock shocks your gonna be sitting on your rear fenders.
