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

[Tansey86]

Hey guys,

Does anyone know if these wheels are sold in 18x9.5 or 18.10 in black for our bolt pattern? And if they are whatoffset will accommodate a 285 in the rear without having to to use a lot of camber so its flush.
Thanks!

Thanks for the intelligent input it's truly appreciated. I'm sorry not all us have your all encompassing knowledge of all things automotive. I'm a failure who can't live up to your expectations. I deeply apologize. I work in the aftermarket in product development running a brand specializing in highly sophisticated sensors, switches, motors and actuators for a billion dollar parts company so to answer your question no, I dont know anything about cars. Seriously nothing...I'm legally bound to refrain from saying who I work for so don't bother asking.

...Alright, well I found the 57.1 to 56.1 hub rings not sure about the offset yet. Gonna try it on tomorrow at the guys house before money changes hands.

Those are ball seat lug bolts for the TT, you might have a safety issue.

you guys have been real helpful though!

An 8" +0 in the back would be flush or a little poke.
Up front, you're at least 30mm past the fender. Negative camber could help, but that's an aggressive front fitment.

No its a significant poke in rear too. I believe the term is mexiflush

<-- Look at my avatar. It's like another inch beyond that.

There is a 15mm difference between 8" 0 & 9" +28.
25.4mm = 1".

That said, yes, it would be aggressive.

Hey everyone.

I recently purchased a set of 57xtremes and just realized how much I hate the tire setup I went with. I'm currently running 225/40 front on 18x8.5 and 255/35 on rear wi 18x9.5.

My roommate has 18x9.5s on 255/35 on his STi and his sit perfectly, which is why I went with his tire brand, hankook v12 Evos. Anywho, they're stretched on my car. I'm thinking about selling my tires and going up to a 275/35R, 245/40F, but I'm not sure if ill have rubbing issues. I'm lowered on KW V3 and just need some help, I don't plan on slamming or stancing the car.

I've researched all that I can and found a lot of information on rim size, but not tire size.

Anyone that can chime in, I'd greatly appreciate it.

not sure what tires has the biggest wheel lip

[bah]

235/40 on the front won't stretch on 8.5 and shouldn't rub, depends on your offset. To fill in the back you would need 265/35 but i'd be really cautious towards such wide tires they might rub on your wheel well..

245/35R18 front 265/35R18 rear would be fine. im running 245/35 front and rear on 18x8 with no problems. this car doesnt really need 9.5 out back. an 8.5 on all corners would be plenty but thats just my opinion.

[#87]

I'm kinda the same boat. I got 235/255 on 8.5/9.5

The 235 doesn't look bad but the 255 is a little stretch. Thinking 265 or 275 would be better in rear, leaning toward 265. but I'm gonna burn up these first of course.
