Will this fit? (width, offset and tire size Qs)

Dang. Is that more a "you're like a brother to me" no or a "no, but only cuz I have a bf" no.

Reason is I really like these:

Any reasonable way I could get them to fit?

Reasonable is relative.
You asked about +20, those are +25.
Stretched tires 225 or smaller, more camber -3.5 at the very minimum.
Grind/machine away the back side of the wheel to create a higher offset.
Fender roll/pull.

The fronts are doable if the fenders are indeed 10mm wider at 3ish camber. The rears are the bigger problem.
In all honesty, they will fit, you just wont have much suspension travel before it hits fenders.

Thanks Swarb! I've been eyeing these for weeks. Flow-formed and pretty sweet.

I hope you aren't buying them unless you are ready to do the work mentioned above. (minus grinding the wheels)

I made a tread for my wheels but I'll ask on here too just to get some more opinions. I wanna do eibach sport line springs with a 1 and 1/2 inch drop. Then I want to put the car on ccws looking at around 19x8.5 et 38 and 19x9.5 et 38 with a 225 in the front and a 255/265 in the rear. What do you guys think?? I don't want much camber should I change the offset ?? Will it rub? Will I need to get camber kit? Still learning the whole offset of things. Any ideas appreciated I want the car to be as flush as possible and not poking hard core. I don't necessarily want to overly stretch my tire either

Hello Swarb,


From reading posts from this thread and using the Fitment Calculator, I have an idea (theoretically) of what wheels and tires I will get.


- I'm planning on getting 18x8.5 +35/18x9.5 +35 Front/Rear wheels, respectively.
- 225/40/18 Front, and 245/35/18 Rear tires
- I'm currently dropped 7/8" from Eibach Pro-kit
- Currently have 20mm/25mm spacers (which I won't use if everything is calculated right)


The only thing I'm not sure of is the clearance to the stock struts.


What do you think of this setup?


My goal is to keep the wheels/tires flushed without poking too much.

Staggered is not good for tire rotation.
Fronts are good. Shouldn't rub.
Rears will poke. Everyone's definition of poke is different though. You aren't lowered much, so you won't have that much camber, so it will poke more than someone who is lowered more with more camber. I'm on 18x9.5 +34 on 255/35, lowered about two inches, I rub on the rear bumper tabs and I poke slightly with 2.7 camber. You might rub on the rear bumper tab, but fenders are fine.
With only springs, I would suggest 8.5's all around. Plenty of clearance in the front, and ability to rotate the tires, and no induced understeer.

Thank you, swarb. I will go with your suggestion.


I will get 18x8.5 +35 wheels with 225/40 tires all around. Is this okay?

225/40 are a good size.
Another good choice would be 245/35.
Slight trade off of more nimble vs more max grip.

This isn't a fitment issue but it's such a simple question I don't want to make a new thread for it.

How can you tell if lug nuts are extended lug's or not? Looking at a set on amazon and it doesn't say anywhere weather it's extended lugs or not.

Here is what i'm looking at: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have a buddy who is selling me a set of xd9 with specs of 18x10 +18 now before i commit to buy i wanted to make sure they would fit on my car, if i was on bc coil overs would i have any fitment issues? Also what tires size would be best recommended for them

Hey, how would running 235/40 tires for the same Eibach Pro-kit with 18x8.5 +35 wheels setup be? nub q but I'm trying to learn, thanks

Will this fit? I am lowered on RSR Superdowns
Avant Garde m310 18x9 +30 square wrapped in 245/35

Avant Garde m310 18x8 +30 225/40 F and 18x9 +30 255/35 R

Thanks!

Extended lug nuts and extended studs are two different things. Longer nuts just means longer nuts. Easier to take on and off. Read the specs, they say 1.36" Overall length. If you have extended studs, you want open ended.
