Konig Oversteer 18x9 will it fit? help.
 
1 Attachment(s)
Planning on getting some better wheels and tires since the stocks are getting boring to me. Pretty new to all this stuff but wanting to know if a 18x9 wheel with an offset of +45 would fit well.

The car will be lowered on Eibach pro kits and I was trying to achieve the flushed look, spacers I feel are going to be required but was wondering what the width of them should be?

18x8 is an option as well if itll fit the car better, 9's are more concave and look better though.

Thanks!

theres like 200+ pages. I got some good info from there. They say that 18x9 will clear the stock struts by a few mm, so i would get some spacers, I just dont know the best width.

looking for a spacer mm balance between

clearing stock struts < (flushed, Front (x) mm, Rear (x) mm,) < sticking out way to far.

You can only run about a 3mm spacer on stock studs. Then you'll have to get bolt-on spacers if you don't want to change out wheel studs.

Bolt-on spacers under 20mm will be subject to whether the wheel backpad design can let you use the spacers to begin with.

I test fit my 18x9 +42 wheels on stock suspension and there was maybe 2mm clearance in the front - too close for my comfort level. With a 18x9+45 you are 3mm closer to the strut than i was - so pretty sure you will not fit without spacer.

You'll need spacers.

+35 is the best offset for this car if you plan on lowering & running camber on a 9" wide wheel. With enough camber you get very very minor poke, if you're at stock height you'll look like a monster truck lol.

I almost bought a +42 wheel but I decided I didn't feel like buying spacers & extended studs...not worth it imo no regrets

my mistake the offset is +42, on the 18x9's, Probably will end up getting some spacers. just wondering the best width.
