This is what I want to achieve with white rims.
Here is visual of a PB (NOT MINE) with 18x10 +18 I dont know what size the tires are though.

I'm confused. What are you trying to achieve? His is slammed with low offset wheels. Your cars would be the same color but that's all I see.

Anyone running 18x9.5 +25 255/35/18 with s-techs?

Ross_Dawg

That will fit with rolled fenders... stechs aren't a good spring to be running aggressive wheels though unless you have aftermarket shocks (not stiff enough).

Ross_Dawg

iTrader: (2)

If you want your car to look like his, then you want 18x10 +18 with 265/35 tires and coilovers. Your OP has none of that... unless you're just trying to get similar rims, in which case I guess the third option is ok. You could get wider tires though...

Thanks Ross. They will only be on s techs temperary

does anyone know if stock wheels with245/40 and 25mm ichiba spacers and tein stechs will fit? i put the spacers on already and for some reason the rears rub on certain dips with people in the back. i have stock wheels and 245/40 on rightnow. stock height it shouldnt rubat all right?

depends on camber.......and some tires are wider/taller than others. There are multiple variables at play, but roll the fenders and you should have no problems regardless of suspension choice.

Pretty sure somebody was running that exact setup not too long ago (9krpmrx8).

dlum125

iTrader: (7)

so i found out that im only rubbing on my driver side rear. i looked at it and found out that that side is about an inch lower than the other side. could this be due to the shocks? or saggy springs? this might not be the thread to talk about this in but you guys already know my problem. any ideas?

iTrader: (7)

ohyeah i already talked to him already and he had no problems. he is why i wanted this setup. its just that im having a little trouble right now.

^ this is what I don't get... don't want to sound long-winded.. but the poster above has:

18 x 8 with 25mm spacers, so his wheels will extend 25mm further out. He is lowered on S-techs and is rubbing.

For the 10 billionth time, the experienced people here say that 18 x 9 +36 will not rub at all. Tire sizes are the same (245/40), lowering is about the same too (S-tech vs. Eibach + B8)
18 x 9 +36 will extend 27mm which is more than 25mm but yet you guys say it will be no problem whatsover?

The edge of the wheel is 2 mm farther out BUT the tire is not. Wider wheel with same size tire. His is equivalent to you having 265 width (approximately).

I Just want a nice set of white wheels that have a good offset.

Thank Ross, I like that 8 but I dont want to look just like him.
I just want white wheels, and I am going to get coilovers come tax time.

Right on, sounds like your third option would suit you well.

I am currently looking at these because they are strong and dont break the bank

5 Zigen FN01R-C 17X9.0 5X114.3 +35MM

Im not sure what tire size I should go with, I was thinking a 265, but im still lost. Any ideas anyone? Me being lowered with Tein S.Techs and Koni Yellows im pretty low, think Id need a roll?

The Reverend

iTrader: (1)

aye go for it -- with 265s you might rub at full load

WTBRotary!

iTrader: (6)

Yeah... I have read most people wear a 255 on these with this offset and size. I was just curious if 265 would fit. If not id probably just put on 255's

Ross_Dawg

iTrader: (2)

Wrong thread 265 will fit fine just might want a fender roll in the back
