I run 18x10.5 +43....so the 19x 10" +38 will be very close. Tires will likely make or break the fit

5k of those are this thread.....I think I know what I'm talking about. Put the 9.5" wheel all around.

18x9+35
225/40/18
Stance GR+

Tire is until the summer/funds come. looking to get either 255/35/18 or 265/35/18 summers for autox.

Replacement wheel after wheel was damaged.

Should I go more aggressive and get a 20mm spacer with extended studs and get the 3 others in 18x9+15 to match?

Is 18x9+10 too aggressive for me? ( i can use my 25mm spacer ) I can take off the spacers when going to autox.

How much fender modification is required for 18x9+10 with 225/40/18? - Roll?
What about with a 255/35/18? - Roll + tab relocation?

Just basically trying to figure out what I want to do so I can order the 3 other wheels.

One thing I've struggled with and I don't fully understand, How do you lower your car without ruining your tires or fender wells? My car isn't crazy low but it is lowered a little and already I'm at the point that if I lower it any more the front fenders will either cut the tires, or the tires will wear the fender well plastic away. It already happened once when it wasn't securely fastened, I got them replaced and it's still happening in some places. I used the wheel, tire, and spacers recommended by 9K and some other respectable people around here and I don't know how people lower their cars far lower than mine without damaging something.

18" wheels, 245/45/18 tires, 25mm spacers

What am I doing wrong?

Your also running the wrong tire. 9K suggested 245/40/18, 45 is a taller tire.

Sorry, that was a mistype *facepalm* I am running 8x18, 245/40/18 with 25mm spacers.

Anyways, as for offset, the website I bought them from doesn't give very good details, it only says High Positive Offset. Judging by the manufacturer's website however, it's either +37 or +45

offset should be stamped on the back of the wheel.

hi guys,
so i have a set of 18x8.5 +45 wheels on 235/45/18 in front and 18x9.5 +43 wheels on 245/40/18 in back. i was thinking of lowering the car with the tanabe sustec gf210 springs. i was just wondering if it would rub at all.

I know a 18x9 +30 will fit but will a 18x9.75 +30mm fit without rolling my fender. I am stock with no plans on lowering.

It will look rough and pokey without going lower. Especially if your tires are stretched at all.

Bad choice Hoosier. Too aggressive. The 8.75 +30 would be better

And lower your damn car. What kind of sissy boy are you?

I will have to find some 18x9 then. The tires are brand new and do not have the money for another set. I went over a speed bump on Friday and stopped on top of it to let my gf out. I checked and had maybe 1/2" of clearance.

245/40 would be great on 18x8.75. Don't go over mountain speed bumps?

Did not have a choice really. The front door was directly inline with it. I think I have about 1 -1 1/2" of gap between the tire and wheel well. I have 1 1/2" drop spring in storage but not sure I can run them until I get lower profile tires.

You can. If they are literally called 1.5" drop springs I would find something else. There is always a way around speed bumps (example: she can walk 20 feet).

Don't forget that taking speed bumps at an angle like a douche helps as well.
