    18x8.5 with +38 offset

    the problem.... im getting a noise from what Im pretty sure is the left front wheel. I checked all four tires and they arent rubbing anywhere. The noise is pretty loud im thinking a bearing but it wasnt this loud when I had my other wheels on there. Could the new wheels be amplifying the bearing noise? There is hardly any vibration and to get just a little vibration you have to have it at about 60+. Im running 18's that are 8.5 width and 38 offset. 225/40/18 tires. Progress lowering springs with gr2s and I have a v6. any ideas?The noise sounds like a washing machine on its spin cycle.

    I'd rather have the knowledge and ability to do it than the money to buy it already done.

    I say they would fit just fine.

    I was 18x8 +38, tires weren't even stretched.

    Just roll ur fenders. Stretch the tires, and camber the sucker.
    Accident. Deemed Unfixable. Got a check for it.

    its ok. 215 should be ok but still need to roll your fenders.

    I rock 19x8s with a +40 offset and 235/35-19s. So the height you are sitting at you will need to roll the fenders, and I'd suggest using 225/40-18s.

    you can definately get them to work but the wheel may stick out a little..i have 19x8.5 w/ a 38 offset and without the fender flares or camber adjustment they would be out of the fender about 2-3 mm

    Looks good, you definitely need fender flares though.
