**official aggressive wheel thread**

[blue8g]

Post pics of some really aggressive wheels on a G.....whether crazy offset, huge lip, wide, concave...whatever....as many pics as possible, as few words...

[RedGalant2k1]

Gram Light Optimise (if memory serves) 18x9.5", not sure on the offset.

look out for my 225/50/16 with a 16x8 and offset in the 30's with some camber and some fender folding and pulling setup for the summer. lol.

[RedGalant2k1]

Pictured about is also my G with its 19x8" +40mm Motegi DV5 wheels with 235/35R19 BFGoodrick KDW2 tires. NOTE** This fitment WILL require that you roll the fenders EVEN AT STOCK HEIGHT.

I didnt have to roll my fenders and I have 19x8 wheels with a +38 offset and I was dropped with tien springs. I did after I corrected the camber though

this thread will hopefully help me find some aggressive looking 17 or 18's!!! Good idea OP

With my fitment you WILL rub. Some tires have a wider tread even if they are the same width. But my guess is that you a running 225/35R19s, not 235s like me. That not withstanding, you have a nice setup going too.

how?

and the wheels i was considering for my g that are posted by the op are in fact Gram Light 57 Optimise 18x9.5 with a +38mm offset. i would have to get them in at least a 35mm to not really need spacers for the fronts. the rears are perfect. there is a 5mm spacer up front and they barely clear the brembos. im talkin a sheet of paper.

[RedGalant2k1]

Here is a picture from the rear, showing a decent bit of camber, but still in factory specs. I could run more aggressive drop if I wanted to, but then I'd need to run either smaller tires, or literally flare out the fender lips to fit how squared off the BFG tires are.

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e52/RedGalant2k1/TG2k2/Picture073.jpg

Gladly. I want to pick up a fender roller anyways, a real one to redo mine.

[Reelax]

what's the lowest offset i can possibly run with 9.5" wide wheels?

depends on how much ur gonna lower the car and how much you want to cut/pull the fenders and how much negative camber and what tire combo you r willing to run.

[lonestar22]

if relax's fitment is considered agressive, than so are mine

i think that would be too aggressive.

18x9.5 +28 would be the closest id go. thats with maxed camber and shaved panels though and a super stretch tire like a skinny 225

[lonestar22]

i want my next wheels to be 18x9.5 20-25mm offset with some 225 or 215 45 tires

[greddy]

^^bro, I'm curious, what are you trying to do with your car? Because if you run that wide of a wheel, you'll have to run a ton of camber and you're gonna be going through tires in no time.

[VIPtint]

not really u gotta get the toe in spec. my lex is runnin hella camber and my tire wear isnt that bad since i got my alignment.

but on my g i maxed ingalls camber and turned the toe bolt all the way to try and correct it. im pretty slammed so the toe was way in. i dont know if its within spec but if it isnt you can get the toe arms from megan for an eclipse

[lonestar22]

^^bro, I'm curious, what are you trying to do with your car? Because if you run that wide of a wheel, you'll have to run a ton of camber and you're gonna be going through tires in no time.

camber isnt what kills tires fast. its toe, i do performance alignments all day long.

my Audi runs -2.5 negative camber all the way around and my galant has 0.0 camber up front and -2.3 in the rear. both cars tires wear completely even.

[DNSerrano]

Yo VIP what type of wheels are those that you are sitting on in that pic. That is exactly the look I'm going for. Can you give me the tire size you on?

[VIPtint]

the black wheels that r on the car are 18x8 +15. 8mm spacer in the rear and 205/40 on all 4

the test fir wheels are bbs lm's but they aint for my car, just threw them on for kicks

[DNSerrano]

Thanks I appreciate the info kid. They look very very nice on the Galant.

[VIPtint]

i like the look too, i already have all the black vinyl i need to wrap it up. just been lazy. retro wheels and satin black will look sick. i will have to paint the grille and fog pieces though and i might whitewall the tires

[Reelax]

BBS LM's r 2 piece.

[VIPtint]

yeah 2 piece.

thats pretty aggressive for stock fenders, i bet it comes real close.
but if you were to roll or shave them i bet youd have almost another inch u can squeeze in there.

the LM's in PINK is the only way she will rock em. she says they look way to masculine to be on a chicks car. the offsets are pretty weak but s2k's dont like offets in the mid 20's

18x9 +22 is almost exactly like mine. should fit flush. i ran a spacer cuz i increased the camber. but with stock u should be pretty flush

[lonestar22]

i hate how the front ends of galants cant handle aggressive offsets as well as the rear. the rear will be tucking and the front will be poking

so just go with higher offest in front, that way it avoids having to stagger width and you can still flush/tuck. good wheel companies will make a wheel in many offsets and in multiple face profiles to accomodate big front calipers and still allow tuckage while provding deeper lip in the rear w/ the SAME width.

thats what my plans are for the S4 ones i do jline's. staggered wheels not so good for AWD cars especially if you dont get the overall heights just right

need less sidewall, and more poke in the rear, otherwise looks baller

[greddy]

ima get some 225s for the fronts to stretch it more, maybe some 215s

[Reelax]

don't go lower than 225 on 8.5... especially since those are the drive wheels... wider is better for those 215 will be too narrow and your contact patch will suffer. great wheels btw; those 17's look like 18's!

i think i'm a member of this now........

tease!

im sorry bro but not really.

[greddy]

^x2 :(

[showtime]

18x7.5 +48 is not aggressive at all, sorry bro. Greddy has an aggressive setup, so does relaxx! thats aggressive shit.

[greddy]

^I do, it's called wheel width......

[showtime]

i think he is running 9 or 9.5 i cannot remember

edit: its 8.5

[showtime]

well considering reelax is +48 with the same size tires i don't see much difference

were not trying to bash on you, your g looks really good! Were just saying its not that agressive

[greddy]

were not trying to bash on you, your g looks really good! Were just saying its not that agressive

x2, also, his car is slammed and is camber corrected too

[greddy]

told you it would rub without rolling lol, the wheels are nice though, congrats, and I doubt you're running as much camber as I am lol, I have about -4 with the works, and about -2.5 with the evo wheels lol, roll your fenders and camber correct your car if you don't want to eat through tires, but I doubt you ahve really really crazy camber lol

[greddy]

yeah it does lol, but you really should camber correct unless you're gonna track the car or auto x regularly, it'll kill your tires, mine is running tons with the works just to clear the cut fenders but also for auto x. then again i paid 300 to get my car cornerbalanced and aligned by a very reputable speed shop here.

[greddy]

yes, it is, but you will need to buy camber kits for the front and rear for full adjustability, it rubs the suspension cuz your tires are wide and if I'm not mistaken that won't change after an alignment because an alignment works with your entire suspension, it's not just adjusting the angle of the wheel, you'll probably need to run a small spacer, if you could take a picture of where exactly it's rubbing, although I'm going to take a guess and say it's the control arm?

[greddy]

Ok, but I'm willing to bet money you'll need a small spacer to make it work, I clear the rear suspension by 1.8 mm in the rear with my works and that's only because of the lower offset that I have compared to your wheels, plus my tires are slightly stretched but the wheel itself is 2 inches wider than yours, so I think you'll be fine running a 3-5mm spacer. But pics will def. help.

[greddy]

spacers should fix it

[RedGalant2k1]

Heh, you should see what I'm planning.

[greddy]

^well that is just an awful and uncalled for tease Dave, and will not be tolerated in this forum, you should be banned for a day.... lolz, give us a hint so we can start guessing, like an offset, a width, a tire size, not all of them, maybe just one ?

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z128/viper306m/Turbo%20build/DSCN0224.jpg

of course it's aggressive, so aggressive in fact that the wheel and tire attacked your front fender and dented it.... lol

[Galant306m]

hahaha. Good cause i was just making sure that my new set of rims are aggressive then BITCH"S!

[showtime]

http://www.kingmotorsports.com/category.aspx?cat=107

will any of these spacers work? (the 5mm ones)

the S2000 ones should, i have seen S2000 wheels on a galant so I would assume the spacers fit too

[Reelax]

well considering reelax is +48 with the same size tires i don't see much difference

for the record, my setup right now is 19x8.5 +48mm VOLK RACING SF-WINNING w/ 235/35zr19 NITTO INVO, dropped more than 3" AND camber corrected... that's why the offset had to be so high. camber correcting pushes the tops of the tires OUT so my rear wheels are actually pretty flush compared to cars that have don't have camber correction. i could lower offset and camber to clear, but that's not what i was going for when i bought the wheels... maybe the next setup.

bump

and my FINAL wheel fitment question

18x9 +31 with 235/40/18? lowered on Tein S-techs

will it fit? I'm willing to roll my fenders

let's do some math.

you had 18x7.5 +48 w/ 235/40r18 right?

the new size is 18x9 +31 w/ 235/40r18 right?

your inner clearance will be 2mm less.

the wheel will stick out 36mm more.

the TEIN S-tech drop is not that deep so you may be able to get away w/ it w/ negative camber and cutting out ur rear fenders. you have a much better chance of fitting them if you stretch 225/40r18 on instead of 235/40r18.

they are dope, if all goes as planned you will see nearly the same wheel (knockoff) Rota G-Force 18x9 +30 offset of my galant in the near future. I wanted to run the 18x9.5 but there is no way its fitting without a huge amount of neg camber and a tiny tire, and I dont want tiny tires, im gonna run either a 235 or 245

[blue8g]

those'll be sexy......if i ever sell the g-games that's the offset and size i want.....although the wheels i want will remain secret until i have em

How much crap are you going to have to cut out/adjust, to fit that size of offset, with that wide of a tire lol sounds like alot of work...

[Stewi]

How much crap are you going to have to cut out/adjust, to fit that size of offset, with that wide of a tire lol sounds like alot of work...

im already using 18x8 +35 offset with 235's. I dont plan on the car being slammed to the ground. I also have JDM fender flares and the rear inner quarter panels are cut out/folded up and in. Right now in the rear I dont have much negative camber and I have about 1/2" of clearance between the tire and the quarter panel, so with the wider wheel im going to need about 18mm of space which is a little less than 3/4" so I can throw another degree or two of negative camber and I should be good.

[keith6110]

anyone here have 18x8.5 wheels with about 37mm offset?

im wondering what you had to do if you went with 235-245 tires.

roll the fenders? adjust the camber?

[rez887]

I used to have 20 x 8.5, offset 35mm, 245 30 but I sold them yesterday and they're on g35 now! I could not drop the car with those wheel at all.

I think it would hit the strut unless you were running coilovers. If you already have coilovers, I think you should be good. You may have to roll the rear 1/4's but thats not too hard. My car is dropped about 2.5" up front and about 2 3/4" in the back I compared specs, your wheel would stick inward another 8mm and outward another 4mm which will be fine if your running coilovers. In the back I would roll the 1/4's and maybe run a camber kit to put about 2 degrees or so negative camber. I think it will look pretty good. Dont be afraid of negative camber, as long as you have a wheel alignment done after and get the toe aligned right, you will be fine.

If you run a 245 tire you might have a little more trouble, but you wont know til you try..... The worst case would be you would have to run it a little higher up versus slamming it.

[E_Emerson88]

I think it would hit the strut

how do you fix this? my suspension is like laying on my tires in the front lol.

use coilovers and if need be, run max out the negative camber on the camber plate. If you dont wanna run "real" negative camber, you can max out the camber plate negative, then buy a camber bolt kit and put a few degrees of positive camber back to offset. The negative camber from moving the strut in will give more strut clearance.

yeah it's gonna have to be coilovers. to review, i am running 235/35zr19 on 19x8.5 +48, camber corrected, dropped close to 3" w/ TEIN SS-P coilovers. the camber plates on the coilovers are set midway and i do have ingalls camber kits at all corners. it is most likely the stock front spring perches touching the tire... they are HUGE and are replaced w/ much narrower/smaller units in a full coilovers setup allwing much more clearance to wheel/tire on the suspension side.

since i am running almost the exact same wheel/tire size (w/ 3mm more offset, bringing the tires even closer to the suspension) dropped deep, with NO rub lock ot lock, the only difference is the coilvers vs. spring/ stock size damper... that would lead me to beleive that is where the problem lies.

[E_Emerson88]

kool thank you, so once i lower my car the suspension wont be as wide i guess so it wont be as much. . . right?

[blue8g]

what's the perfect offset for 18x7.5 235/40/18 to where someone would be flush but not rub?

i feel like either +33 or +38 would work nicely

[Stewi]

the +33 would be money if you run just a slight amount of negative camber out back, so if the car is lowered and not camber corrected, you will have plenty of negative camber and be fine. The +38 would sit more in, you would potentially tuck the +38's if you wanna slam the car low.

[Stewi]

kool thank you, so once i lower my car the suspension wont be as wide i guess so it wont be as much. . . right?

only if you have coilovers.


The issue is the spring perch on the strut, on stock style struts, the perch is huge, the spring is huge and all that stuff takes up space. Coilovers are about 4" less wide, so it gives more clearance for wider wheels.

I was amazed at the size difference myself.

[Reelax]

kool thank you, so once i lower my car the suspension wont be as wide i guess so it wont be as much. . . right?

if u lower w/ just lowering springs, u will still have the big lower spring perches which r part of the struts. to get more clearance on the suspension side u will need to go to full coilovers.

some pics that might help you compare...

you would have to roll rear fenders at +33mm (maybe even at +38 depending on the actual tires) if u didn't want to rub on compression... even more so if u camber correct.

[shaneb]

Also if you stretch the tire with a little poke you might not need to roll the fenders much or at all.

are KYB AGX's the same size as the stock ones?

pretty much. they are stock replacements with adjustable dampening (rebound and compression).

Also if you stretch the tire with a little poke you might not need to roll the fenders much or at all.

but he was asking about 235/40r18. w/ 225/40r18 he would probably clear w/o camber correction, again w/ camber correction he might still have to roll the fenders.

I didn't paint them because when I put them on the clear wasn't peeling, the were 8 out of 10 shape, 8 track days later this is what happens :) I don't expect them to stay pretty from the use that they get, I do want to take them apart this summer and rebuild them and get them powedercoated, but hey, they work for what I use them for, and that's all i care about atm

[Jeffylou87]

Noob question.. I wanna get a pair of rota torques @ 18x8 with 48 offset. I want something aggressive but not to the point where I have to roll my fenders. I also want to fit brembos under them. Would that size work? Offset confuses the shit out of me.. =|

read up about brembos and powdercoating. it's not good for them, since you use them for performance. high temp paint is the way to go

wheel offset and width only go so far for when it comes to fitting a bbk. its mostly shape and design of the spokes. the torques are a good choice as the spokes shape fits well with brembos and most bbk options. with the offset i would say go into the 30's you need I believe +32mm to fit over brembos. you will need some spacers i believe. with my spacers i am at +31mm and i have to roll my rear fenders.

I agree, also. People buy Evo wheels to fit the Brembos, right?? So why not buy a set of aftermarket wheels for an Evo and you will know for sur that it will work, just saying?? Makes sense??

[greddy]

Ray most aftermarket evo wheels are too wide/too low offset to fit in the Galant body
Jeff you will need 15 at least for those wheels you wanna shoot for an offset between 38 and 30 if you go much lower you'll need to run mad - camber

I'm running 35 and I rolled my fenders but that's also because I'm runnin a 245/45 tire. Jeff if u wanted to run torques in an 18x8 ur gonna need et35 that'll clear brembos, ur gonna prolly run like a 225 40 or 225 35 to minimize the amount of fender work.

[Jeffylou87]

Well, I'll also be camber corrected in the rear.. I really don't want to have to cut the fenders. I have no problem rolling them. I really like the rota torques. I'm still confused as to what is better, a lower number offset or higher. I really want to be abl to clear brembos. So what size torques would I need to clear em, with camber correction, at what offset? And if you name an offset and say I can go as much as 35 or whatever. As much as 35 from 0-35 or 35-100? Still not understanding offset.. =(

[WhiteGalant]

The magic number that you want for offset is +35

[Jeffylou87]

If it's not made in +35 do I go lower or higher.

[WhiteGalant]

If it's not made in plus 35 you want to go to lower numbers but that means the wheel will stick out further, increasing the chance of rubbing

[Ivory8g]

here you go my galant brother
http://flushstance.ccwheel.com/?page_id=635
this helped me understand with the diagrams and the definitions made sense with the pictures. add the backspace and the frontspace and you should get the wheels overall width. :)

18x8 +35mm (preferably +40mm) with a 225/40R18 and you should be money. Minor fender rollage may be required.

[WhiteGalant]

With the rota torques the magic offset is +35 any higher you wont clear the brembos, any more and you will have major fender rubbage.

[Stewi]

Jeff if your going to camber correct the rear on a 18x8 +35 offset wheel, your going to need to roll the fenders and run a tiny tire. Like a 215. I run 18x8 +35 with a 40 series tire, I have about 2 degrees negative camber and my rear inner quarter panels are cut/folded up and I only have about 10mm clearance. If I was to camber correct it, I would have almost no clearance and thats with the inners cut/folded up. I your rolling it, you will have less clearance versus cutting/folding.

offset is simple. for a given width (in your case 8"), the lower the offset, the more the wheels are pushed out away from the car's lengthwise centerline; the higher the offset the more the wheels are pushed in closer to the car's centerline. stock offset for our cars is +46mm. the reason you will need a lower offset than stock to clear the EVO BREMBO's is because you need much more room behind the spokes of the wheel. as a rule of thumb, depending on spoke profile design, wheels with a lower offset will offer more room behind the spokes because the wheels are pushed out further from the car.

now here's where it gets mildly less simple. a more narrow wheel can have a lower offset and still stick out EXACTLY the same as a wider wheel with a high offset (and a wider wheel w/ a higher offset might stick out the same as well). the point is offset and width have to be taken into consideration TOGETHER to determine final fitament for clearance to fender and suspension.

example:

8" +35mm
would stick out exactly as much as
7.5" +29mm
would stick out exaclty as much as
8.5" +41mm

but not all of these sizes are guranteed to fit the EVO BREMBO's. that is more a function of the spoke design. to fit brakes that big, the less lip you have AND the lower offset you have, the better chances you have of fitting those big front calipers (ther rear calipers are muich smaller so the front really dictates how much room you need).

[Galantman03]

would these fit brembos if i add a hmm say 8mm spacer? the are 18x8 with 43.. or am i better off with getting the 30 offset one, how much work to fit the 30 compared to 43... fender rolling and cutting alot?
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/wheels/mb_wheels/product/submitProductSize.do?pc=48671&tmn=Battle&typ=Car%2FMinivan

[WhiteGalant]

It depends on the spoke design, notice I said an offset of +35 is specifically for "ROTA TORQUES" I dont know for other rims. For example my old rims had an offset of +42, I had to use a 25mm spacer to fit the brakes, taking it to an effective offset of +17. So again Ill say, just like everyone else said, IT DEPENDS ON SPOKE DESIGN.

[greddy]

30 offset are a bitch to make it work without rubbing but the wide track is great

what you mean bitch lol, like a bitch as in just once, or like an annoying bitch lol that never goes away...

[RedGalant2k1]

30 offset are a bitch to make it work without rubbing but the wide track is great

depends on wheel width. You could have a +30 17x7 that would work just fine.

In fact you could have a +30mm wheel with just about any width. Backspacing and overall width are the main things to consider. Offset and wheel spoke design matter when required to clear big brakes (at least for the most part).

i could have gotten used cr-kai 18x8 +42 (I know it's not quite the right size but nothing a smaller spacer couldn't fix) with 225/40/18 tires for 700.....the same or less than knockoffs

What size tire is he running on the wheels?

[qnz]

He is running 225/40/18 size tires

[blue8g]

are these still on his car?

lol

[qnz]

No, these are in his living room, doubling as end tables.

[blue8g]

ooo i'm jealous of his furniture

well my new set-up is fairly aggressive..i ought to have pics soon

i don't but this other guy (blue8g) is enjoying it, i wonder if he is

[blue8g]

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

[RedGalant2k1]

*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)

[Galantman03]

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.

[Galantman03]

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

[RedGalant2k1]

well i have 17x8 +40 now and they fit fine.....

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.


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

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

[blue8g]

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

[Galantman03]

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

If you give me a week I can tell you for sure. I ordered CR-Kai's last week, 18x8.5 +25 in matte gunmetal, so yeah thats it, the cat is out of the bag.......

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

Those are very heavy
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

[blue8g]

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

depends on the tire size you run really.... , what size are you going with?

Im gonna be running 235's on mine but my 1/4 panels are notched and folded up, so I have about 6-8mm's more clearance than stock plus a little negative camber

That black lexus gs looks hella identical to my boy John's Car. Might be his. Literally brought that car back to life just a couple of months ago, had leaks in the air lines and he just refinished those wheels. heads up btw, hes looking to get rid of those rims. He lives in the Bay area now. He runs VIPstylecars.com. They just recently did a show somewhere around there i think.

Im in the market for a set of 19" tires. Found a deal on CL for (2) 255/30/19's. Anybody know if they'll fit with 8.5" wide & a +42ish offset?

[E_Emerson88]

255 are gonna be way huge bro. did you ever try that number i told you about?

[IVORY_G]

You think so for the rears? Naw I forgot about it actually. I still have it in my phone tho...

changing tires will help your outer clearance, but if you're hitting on the inner wheel edge, you'll need spacers or coil-overs. with the spacers pushing the wheel outward tho, it'll probably mean you'll need different tires too, but i wouldnt spend the money before you know for sure once the wheel is fitted up properly. i know greddy has some work done to fit his 255's but he's also lowered. if youre at stock ride height, you might be ok with the tires you have on if you make sure you drive like a grandma over bumps and potholes. you got a pm...

The tire size Greddy is running has a rolling diameter of 25.03". That is near perfect as far as overall rolling diameter, excluding the width. A 245/45R18 is 26.68", that is a full 1.65" taller than what greddy is running. Not to mention he probably has wheels that are a higher offset too, further complicating his mounting issues.

I would trash the 245/45R18s in favor of the standard 225/40R18s and call it a day.

[03chi-town0z]

youre right, plus with speedo/odo numbers being off too. it's not how i'd go about it personally, but i just figured theres no reason to just throw away a set of tires if theyre in good shape, especially if the guy is tight on funds. unfortunately we dont have enough information like offset for the wheel or whether or not the car is lowered, so a perfect answer cannot be given at this point. i also spoke with him via pm and he was originally going to consider a 215 or 225 /30 tire if he had to slim down and i told him to stick with a 40 profile for just the same reasons you are giving. i personally am in love with the tire size calculator on the miata forum site! http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html lol. but he's still going to need to run spacers or coil-overs for that inner rubbing that he's got before he'll even know whether or not the tires he has now will rub on the fender for sure

Anyone ever run anything close to 16x7+13 front, 16x8 -10 rear?

[E_Emerson88]

16's are pretty tiny for our car IMO. seems like those would be for honda wheels

[beam514]

4g63_lover is running 16 x 6.5 I think with 15mm spacers? I don't know where that puts the offset but they look pretty good IMO

[Kouki]

Well I'm going in a different direction than most galants doing a different style, just wondering if anyone has anything close to those wheel offsets/sizes

[Stewi]

Anyone ever run anything close to 16x7+13 front, 16x8 -10 rear?

Your not getting an 8" wide wheel with a negative offset in the back unless you leave the car at stock ride height and stiffen the suspension to the point where it can never compress more than about 3" You would need to limit suspension travel so the wheel would never go up high enough to hit the quarter panel.
