Any with 17x9 or 18x9 all around? Not a fitment question

[northbridge]

euro argh, you ran 18x9 +40 with 235 tires and a 15mm spacer? if so why do you think 245 tires wont work.

if the wheels i get are 18x9 + 40 with no spacer it should work no?

thanks for the pictures

On my s2k.

sorry, should've clarified
the offset is +55 but w/ the 15 mm spacers they are now +40
and i tried 20 mm spacers changing it to +35

i don't think 245 will work b/c i'm running neg. camber front and rear, had the fenders cut/rolled and it still rubs on hard turns

^ thanks!

Would I have any issues with 18x9 +40 all around with a 225/40 tire with no gaps all around?

[yonseispeed]

Same thing I run, no problems.

I thought you have 18x8 in the front and 18x9 in the rear?

[yonseispeed]

I was referring to the rear only sorry.

wish I had read this thread earlier. Could have ended a lot of back and forth.



18x9+35 will fit parfectly flush up front with natural camber. I would run a 215 tire though. If you would want more of a track setup I would do 18x9+45 and run a 225-235 tire. The rear can support a 18x9+35 easily with a wide tire (235) and about -2 degrees camber. All of these fitments would require a completely smooth roll/shave on the fenders, but no pulling. You would also have to relocate the rear bumper mounting point closest to the wheel well.

hope this helps..... my car is also on rimtuck.com with my last setup. 18x8/9 +10/12

Can you tell me / show me (pic?) how to relocate the mounting point? That's the only spot my set up rubbed with 235/35/19 and I really want to go back to that tire size instaed of 225/35/19

Are the fenders rolled at all on this?

I'm looking at some 17x9 +35 with 225/40's on them. I think it's going to need a roll and still be awful tight.
