largest + Offset
hey guys stupid ? but what is the largest + offset of wheel you can run on an fc im looking at getting some 18s but they are a +38 with they fit on it or no the rims are 18x8
|
It depends on how "hella flush" you want it! But really, that's basically a stock offset (+40).

http://fc3spro.com/TECH/MODS/RT/rims.htm edit: as long as overall wheel/tire height doesn't chang too much, that guide will be pretty accurate. |
I would suggest that your question also depends on the type of suspension you are running. Coilovers do not typically take up as much room as an OEM type suspension. Ride height and camber are also things to consider.
I'm looking at a set that are staggered 18x8 and 18x9 both with +38mm offset. I have been told that they will work. The recommended tire size for the 18x8 is 215/40 18, but I'm considering 225/40 18's for the 18x8's in the setup that I am considering. I would think that the wider tire would give you some benefit. |
Thanks guys how about a good size tire to run on a 18x8 with +38 offset for stock suspension
|
17x8 +38 on 225 was to close to struts in my S4, they were rubbing, so if i were you i will look for a little more offset.
|
17x8, +45, 225/45/17 rubbed on my buddies stock suspension, but with knightsport coilovers he doesn't have a problem. It's an s5
|
Go baller, or go home. Lol.
JK. Do your research, and get whatever styling you want...aggressive, flush, stock-ish.. To each his own. I like aggressive offsets, personally. |

Is anyone running 225/40 18's on 18x8" rims? If so, are you having any rubbing issues? What type of suspension are you running?
|
I have 225/40x18 on 8" rims i run et25 and there isn't much room on the inside... Cusco coilovers fitted btw...
Tryied to mount 9x18rim yesterday et 35 - Did NOT work at all. I wasn't surprised :) |
I have 18x9.5 with +32mm in the rear tire size is 265/35 and tein coilovers does not rub at all

Wheels and Tyres SSR Professor SP1 17x9 +15 (plus 5mm spacer) - 215/40 Front 18x11 +16 - 255/35 Rear http://images51.fotki.com/v1542/phot...MG_8897-vi.jpg |
lol well i guess i should give a little more input on the car it is a s5 has stock suspension right now but will have some Ksport but for now i just want to put these 18x8 under it and just want to know what tire is not going to rub on the stock struts until i can get my coilovers for it so if anybody has good news for me i have a set of 245/40's i was going to run on the back but will they rub? i am no tire expert now wheel expert so you guys tell me what tire i can run under mine will little to no rub.....
|

|
