Hey people, Im sure you guys answered this question a dozen times,but..
I did read the other posts but it just confused me...

Anyway, I need info. on what are or is the best combination for wheels and tire's. I think i'll be gooing for 18 x7.5...according to a post it fits perfectly so that it does NOT stick out when you look at the car sideways.?!?is this true? As for the other things, well i need your help. Offset, Bolt patterns anything!

thanks

The bolt pattern you need is 5x114.3......I believe a +42 offset will work well.......

+42 offset will work good, but staying closer to the stock +46 offset would be the best. As far as tires, if you get 18's go with 225/40's and if you get 17's go with 225/45's. I have 18x7.5 rims with a +42 offset and 225/40 tires. I get a slight rub in the rear occaisionally, but I'm dropped 1.8" in the rear. Others with the same kind of setup don't get any rubbing, so the only reasoning for that is because I have a camber kit. Without a camber kit, the top of the rear wheels point inwards slightly therefore avoiding any rubbing on the fender. I'm thinking about removing my camber kit to stop the rubbing, but then I would risk uneven tire wear.

If I end up being able to keep my car I'm going with 225/40 myself for the tires, and 18x7.5 rims at +45 offset. Hope that helps you.

would 18x8.5 be too wide?

8.5 would fit in some cases, but ur cutting it close. if the offset is too small, you rub. you lower yur car the wrong way...you rub. you pick the wrong tire package...you rub....

i was thinking bout some ADR MSports 18x8.5, not sure what the offset on these wheels are, and the Eibach Prokit. What are the pros, cons, and pricing of rolling fenders?
