    would i be able to run 18x8.5 +40 with 225/40/18 tires? i feel like that'd work but i wanna check

    *May* get close to the rear upper control arm/knuckle.

    Travis has 18x8.5 +35 Enkei's on his. Mine are 19x8 +40mm and are VERY close to the rear knuckle. Though each car is a little different, so it really requires test fitting the wheels. At worst you could run a small spacer to compensate (5mm)

    i feel this is the right spot, ok so i'm getting works cr kai.... but i'm also getting fender flares, so what offset could i run with that will i guess "flow" with the fender flares, and from what i have been reading its the front we gotta worry about corret? i was thinking 18x8.5 with a 235 tire, with either 37mm or 35mm offset, i would like to go as low as i can without having any problems... any advice?

    Craig (fatal1) had a set of 19x8.5 wheels with +35 offset IIRC I thought they looked perfectly tucking in the fender flares. Without flares tho, the wheels stick out a bit.

    ^^ so you think the 35mm will clear the front stock struts... yeah i don't wanna go for the roller skate look... thanks qnz

    The difference is that your 8" wheels have about a 6" backspacing. An 8.5" +40mm offset generally runs between a 6.30-6.5" backspacing. That is tight to be sure in the rear. But being an 18", and running a 225 should allow for extra clearance. I can tell you I'd have a tough time fitting an 19x8.5 +40mm on my G in the rear without hitting the rear knuckle.

    Yes, it will clear the struts front and rear. You 'could' run even a +25 to +30 with mild camber in front and rear and fit flush to the stock fenders, even lower with fender flares. Though, not sure how extreme you really want it.

    i guess i really don't know lol, i mean if you go 25 or 30 that requires cutting, and i don't think i'm really up to that lol

    so i found some wheels for a steal it is a 18x8.5 25mm offset, i am curious, how much work am i'm talking about for them to fit the rear, oh and i am running fender flares. I guess i'm asking how much fender rolling/ cutting will i have to do to to make the rears fit with camber adjusted right.. well i guess within tolerances...

    while as qnz said i had a wide wheel. the fimensions he gave were correct. they looked great with the fender flares, when i lowered the car to my liking with them on they rubbed on the flare and actually tore one off a little. if i raised the car some i had little to no problems with a slight negative camber but while they looked great the practicality of them wasnt.
    i had them with a minor fender roll but you couldmake them fit better with cutting out the fender entirely. the 25 offset may be a bit much though without more extensive cutting to the wheel well

    ha ha, yeah i was looking at those after i found out rota doesn't make the torques anymore in the offset that i wanted.... but 1300 is a bit much right now lol, all i know is they stick out 38mm more compared to oem offset, but i guess its worth a try lol

    compared to what? gram lights? yeah, cheap o rims? not really, i would rather have a sturdy rim and a bit heavy compared to mush lol

    im running 18x8 +15 with an 8mm spacer. thats like 8.5 +13. take away the camber kit and you should be flush as long as you shave the QP and run a 215
