Installing 18" wheels with spacers? Need advice?
 

Hi everyone! Just joined the FR-S community around December 2015 and I'm starting to make mods to my car.

I ordered Volk TE37SL (http://imgur.com/a/8SJtv) with these specs:
Front - 18x9J +45
Rear - 18x9.5J +35
Lug - 5x114.3

I can't install them yet because my hub is still 5x100. Would you guys recommend using a conversion kit from Megan Racing or just using a wheel adapter/spacer?

Please advise on what would be the safest and efficient way to get my wheels on. I also wanted to know what tire size would be best for these wheels. I really appreciate all your help.

Conversion spacers are typically at least 15 mm. Which means your wheels will now be 18x9+30 and 18x9.5+20. Those are going to stick out a LOT.

Return them and get new wheels. You will not be able to get conversion spacers on those +35's without having a widebody kit.

5x114 hub conversion is your only option. With bolt on adapters they won't fit.

Why didn't you order the right bolt pattern?

Cause I'm an idiot. :(

Yes return them. I use to have 18X9.5 in the front with a +40 and used a 5mm spacer. The spacer made the clearance just right with the springs. No rub.

I run 18x9.5 +22 square. They could fit with spacer adapters, but you probably don't want to run stretch.

Sell them or return them

How bad do you want to run them is the big question, you will have to make some big sacrifices
