If you're on stock height, you might be able to but under heavy suspension compression the tires will hit the body of the car which will mangle them and could also cause extensive body damage. If you're lowered already, I promise you that WILL happen. Basically the lower the number the further it sticks out. Why can't you just not run the wheels until you go widebody? lol. I promise you it'll look way worse than stock wheels so run those in the meantime.

This reduces your offset by 15mm... 22-15 = +7 offset. Plus, what xDJ DUBx said about mangling your tires and fender Edit: but seriously, this discussion belongs in a different thread. |

Enkei RS055RR Square set-up opinions?
I'm planning on getting RS05RR from work for about 420$ each.
18x9.5 +42 all around. I was wondering why I can't run this stock, just curious. Sorry if its a dumb question. And yes, I'll be lowering my car before I put this on. I'll be using FA500. And I'm wondering what tires to get. Michelin Pilot Super Sport, Federal RS-R, or Dunlop Star Specs. I will be using the car as a DD, mostly commute and some occasional backroad runs. |

Inboard clearance. I'd imagine you will hit struts or springs with that high of an offset. I think they're +43 btw

With stock springs, you'll rub on the spring perch. With Coilovers, I THINK you'll be okay. You might need a 3mm spacer but I'm not sure. People are running 18x9.5 +40 on Coilovers with no issues for reference.

How do you guy's feel about a Square set up of 18x9.5 all around?
I was talking to the SpeedElement people, and they told me its just user preference. I also decided not to go staggered because 8.5 was back ordered, and 8.5 had a flat face also. But yeah, whats your opinion on a squared set up of 18x9.5 5x100 +42 |
