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

^^ 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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.......Quote:

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 lolQuote:

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?Quote:

i showed them the galant and they said its not worthy yet HAHA
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.Quote:

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