Sorry, thought you were inferring that wider than 8 is a requirement (of the sorts).

If I can find some wider that aren't ridiculously expensive than I will go for them. As for offset, what is the recommended numbers? I was told +35 is too low, is that correct? (That only means it will suck them in a bit, right?)

Also, what are your personal thoughts of the white MR122's on a lightning yellow? I'm debating lol, currently photoshopping

Offset depends on width. Lower number means it pokes out more. Don't be a cheap *** either. Cheap *** choices have a habit of being bad choices

So a +35 offset, would I get rub or have to roll the fenders on the stock suspension?

And yeah I know what you mean about going cheap. I'm not sure what cheap is, the ones I'm looking at are about $250 a piece. Is that cheap? (I don't consider myself cheap...)

With 8 width, what is a good offset then? What about 9 width?

Thanks in advance

Wheels
Front: 18x8 +40 offset
Rear: 18x8 +40 offset

Tires
Thinking a 245/40-18 for front and back because I want to go wider without any rubbing. Will that fit? Any suggestions?

Keep in mind I have a 1.5" drop on KSport Coilovers.
Thanks

Yea I did. All I was looking for was an answer. And it's tough to get suggestions when I don't post a question so if anybody else has a real opinion I would like to hear it

I suggest you look at what we say fits and then compare that to what you are asking. The answer is pretty obvious

18x9.5 +20 with 265/35/18

Lowered on konis and tanabes

How hard would it be to fit these ?? Im hoping for a roll not a pull. Also any thoughts on how the stance would look.

I know its probably been asked a million times but i need a quick answer.

^ you may poke a little due to the car not being low enough to mess w/camber.

Roll should be a fine to fit the tire sizes (depending on brand). Might need a slight shave on the bumper tabs for hard cornering.

20"/20"

Wheel Width (F/R):

Is rolling going to be necessary before/after lowering it?

thanks Tillz. I want an aggressive set up but im scared i wont be able to make them fit. Im planning on adding my konis this summer. How do you guys go about making adjustments to make them fit ??

Would be okay for me to have a shop mount the tires on the rims and then i put on the rims at home ?? Or do you guys bring the wheels with you mount them at the place you get an alignment at the same time ??

Stupid questions i know sorry

I took mine to have them mounted in the back of my van. I'm at 18x9.75 +20 with 245/40s on springs. It was close at first but there is a bit more room after an alignment to get some more camber.

So basically bring the wheels/tires ... mount everything then put them on the car and then make the adjustments on the spot at the shop (in terms of camber, fender rolling etc etc ) ??

Cause i dont think it would make sense putting them on at home and driving with the wheels poking out 10 inches and rubbing on every turn.

I'm a former mechanic. I rolled my own fenders a few days before my wheels arrived. I put the wheels on and adjusted camber until it was where I wanted it(no rubs) and then went for an alignment to get everything even and the toe perfect.

The last time i let anybody mount my wheels to my car was about 6 years ago when they first put the stock wheels on my car for the first time.

Since then it's been all me. I don't trust people w/impact guns around my wheels.

If you had to remove bumper tabs then ill definitely have too. I would rather not. I dont mind running a bit more camber and even stretching the tires slightly with a 255.

Need advice fellas ?? SHould i pull the trigger on these wheels or not !!!! I think it would look sick but making them fit worries me a bit.

I rubbed on the tabs on turns with 245/40 and 9.5 +28. Others don't report the same though.

Okay thanks for the info J. Worse comes to worse ill run 245s ... really wanted 265s but looks like itll be a pita to make them fit. My plan is to bring my wheels/tires to the shop and let them do all the work to make them fit.

Cheers
