Official Wheel and Tire Fitment Thread

I lied...

235/45 per his build thread

Ok so 235/45/17. Awesome

 

[Eric Smit]

yep. 235/45R17 with no rubbing, and it didn't rub before the DDM spacers either.

Ddm spacer flush it better?

 

[Eric Smit]

Ddm spacer flush it better?

oh yeah.

 

[american_tuner]

oh yeah.

What is your wheel offset?

So, I've been reading as much as I can to understand before I ask, and I feel that it would be safe to say that if I wanted to get the Motegi MR116 18x8 +35, that I would be pretty close to flush, and could get flush with the DDM wheel spacers. If I had plans to get either eibachs or B&G springs, would I get rubbing?

Also, what would be the recommended tire profile for that.

Thoughts on daily drivability if everything does fit properly?

I daily mine with the b&g and love it! I rarely have to think how I'm going to get somewhere. It's also a nice sporty ride

what size rims do you run?

 

[$ub$onic]

15 lol. You should be fine when your set up but someone who has bigger rims then me should know for sure

 

[Turbito]

I got my eye on a wheel and tire package...

18x8 +42 225/40/18 on stock height RS.

Will it fit?

Thanks

 

[RoXXXanne13]

soooooooo 20z wont fit

 

[SonicRS1976]

I guess my question is when you go to TireRack's website and pick the OEM size wheels they should mount up correctly without any mods or changing needed? I am looking to swap out my stock wheels with an aftermarket wheel at the OEM size. Maybe this is a stupid question?

 

[AndrewGS]

I've ordered wheels and adapters. We're going to see if an 18"x8.5" wheel and 225/40 tire will fit. The wheel is 56mm offset with 25mm adapters, so an effective offset of 31mm. I'm worried. To death.

 

[Preloader]

It'll fit.... May need some slight tweaking, but it's not gonna be a fit-fail.

 

[AndrewGS]

Yeah, I'm a little more confident after seeing MPFab's setup.

 

[Thaifight-R]

I'm sure you'll be fine.

Stratton had a fairly similar set up if I recall correctly.
18x8.5 +35
205/40/18, but it seemed like he still had room for more meat.

I just read his wheel thread and he was talking about how he had to go with narrower tires to clear the strut. I'm just 4mm further out than he is. I don't know if it's because he's got coilovers and they are adjusted down or what.

I'm hesitant to order the tires and have them put on until I get the adapters and mount the wheels to look at the clearance. I just hate the wait. I can't get the tires until I sell my GoPro stuff anyways and people haven't exactly been knocking my door down to buy it.

Aren't those going to be super stretched? 205 with a 8.5 wheel?

 

[Thaifight-R]

Aren't those going to be super stretched? 205 with a 8.5 wheel?

Yeah, they were fairly stretched.

The stretch and diameter are why I need to go with a 225. I'm just worried about strut clearance.
