265/35/18 on a 18X9.5 35mm offset fit like a gloves on the back of my car. NO ROLLING, NO PULLING, NO CUTTING. A 275 is a mear 10mm more tire width which is less then half an inch.

Thanks for chiming in.

I want to make these wheels fit. I will give up the desire for wider tires to make them fit.

Here are the only options for this wheel

17x8 offset 37 spacer? 225/45/17

17x9 offset 35 or 29 255/40/17

I don't care about the flush look...I just want the combo to fit under the fender.

I have got my head around this better. I do see that I can make these fit with the higher offsets and use spacers to dial them in.

Looking for someone to say yea you are right so I can pull the trigger.

 

Here is actually all of the options

Sorry to hog the space but I need specific answers when spending this kind of money...

 

With that chart you gave...

Fronts shoot for a 8.0", +30.
I ran this combination with no problems with a 235/45 - it does rub SLIGHTLY on the front inside on extreme steering lock.
Dropping down to a 235/40 might clear everything.

Best combination look like a 8.5", +31.
This has a good chance of clearing everything, especially with a 235 wide tire.
The 235 is going to have a small stretch, and this will help with clearance on the insides.
Going with the 8.0", +37, you'd need at least a 4mm - 6mm spacer with the 235 wide tire.

For rears, go with the 9.0", +35.
With a 255, there's lots of space.
A 265 should fit too, but I like the combo of a 255 / 40 / 17 on a 17" x 9.0" wheel.
Also, the 235 front versus 255 rear makes for a nice balance combo.
The 9.5", +35 should fit too back there, but the 9.0", +35 is a safer bet.

Thanks Ted

 

I second what Ted said, but say go for the larger widths so you have room to grow.

I have two set of Volk TE-37.

First is 16x7.7 +30 front and 16x8 +30 with 245/45-16 all around (and the rears fit up front fine).

Second is 17x8.5 +30 and 17x9.5 +40 with 235 up front and 255 in the rear. I checked and this set up can also fit 245 front and 275 rear, the above are just the tires that came on them.

 

Ted, what offset would you go with to use a 17 x 8.5 wheel with a 245/40/17 tire in the front, if you could pick any offset you wanted? Suspension is Ground Control Coilovers, fender rolling is ok.

If you were restricted to +30 ,+35 ,+40, which would you go with? From your above post, possibly +25 or +30 with a 5mm spacer?

 

Actually, you could even do the 17x9 +22 front with a 235 and rear a 17x9.5 +35 with a 255.

The slightly stretched sidewall would actually work well up front to give good clearance to the outer fender lip and if you later went with wide front fenders you could bump it up to 255 front and 275 rear with those offsets/widths.

Only downside is the +22 front offset will cause a bit more bumpsteer/scrub than the +31 front.

 

I am not Ted, but I can tell you the only offset that has a chance of fitting a 245 up front is the +30 and even then it is really close.

So close it depends on the shape of the model of tire's sidewall construction. For instance my Trampio Vimode 235/40-17 on 17x8.5 +30 BARELY fit because the rim flange protector is HUGE on those tires and is right next to the coilover spring perch.

A 245 could fit there if it didn't have a rim protector that stuck out past the rim lip...

 

If you had any offset you could choose, what would you use? Keep in mind that I do not mind rolling the fenders.

 

8.5" wide up front, I'm more comfortable with a +20 to +25 range and rolling the fender lip.
I really don't like 0.5" size though. :P
I'd rather opt to a 9.0" with offset in the +15 to +20 range.

I plan to put a wide body kit on the car, that will flare the front out 25mm and the rear out 30mm

This is what I was thinking:

Front
17x9 w/15 offset with 225/35/17 tires

Rear
17x10 w/10mm offset with 275/40/17 tires

I believe that should fill the wells pretty nicely. Any confirmations?

 

Sorry, forgot to mention that my car is a 'vert, if that makes a difference, which I don't think it does.

 

Thanks.

 

With 225/275 split, your car will tend to understeer. If you plan to drift, that may be a good thing, but for performance driving, you may want to try to fit more rubber in the front. With a widebody, try to see if you can't get a 255 under there.

 

My set up is 245/40/18 with 8.5" wheel in back + 35mm
275/35/18 with 9.5" wheel in back +35mm
Im getting 30mm wide body in front and have 50mm for back. What spacers do I need to make the wheels flush with my front and rear fenders?
thanks

 

can 17x7.5 fit 235/40/17?

 

Well, you can fit those under stock rolled fenders(with a small spacer in front). However wide your fenders are that is how big of a spacer you would need.

The 30mm front fenders are really 22mm wide from what I've heard. And the 50mm wide rear fenders are overkill, you would need a huge spacer to get them flush.

 

Yes, but it's not ideal.

 

well i guess 225/40/17 is a better off idea.

 

I had just installed new KYB AGX shocks with Racing Beat Springs when I took those photos. I had just let if down off the jacks actually, they are supposed to drop it about 1" from stock.

It sits more like this now after driving for a few minutes-

 

I'm trying to find something to fit this

+20MM fenders in front

+5mm Stretch on rear fender lips

ground Control/Koni yellows (professionally installed)

Looking for 245 wide in the front, 275 wide in the back.

I'm looking for 17 or 18 inch wheels to fit, for less than $1000

These are all I can find...

sounds like you need mustang wheels. unless you're not down with that..
either 17" or 18" fitments work great (04 and earlier mustangs)
17/18x9 +24
17x10.5 +27 or 18x10 +22

most styles are less than 600 for a full set. i've seen them for 480/set on ebay.

 

Will either one of these fit?

15 x 6.5 +40 4h x 108
15 x 6.5 +40 8h x 100/114.3

thanks in advance =]

 

The 15x6.5 8x114.3 shoud fit. But why such small wheels?
