*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?
^^ 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.
thanks dave....i'm considering a trade for the bbs...although it'll be hella temporary i don't like the wheels lol.......i love the offer though
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
Remember how much power im making : )
Not worried about it. Besides, they are a few ounces lighter than the konigs that im coming from.

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
19x8.5, +32, 235/35-19 tires

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
