You'll be fine, it will look great.

Read as much of the thread as I could, but 247 pages is quite a bit.

Need advice on whether these would fit with any rubbing or not, as I dont want to do any modifications to the fender at all and plan to stick to stock camber.
Will start off with stock springs, but later dropping with Tein H-Techs.

F/R: 18x9.5 +15 with 245/40/18

Wheels are MB Battle, a user here has this setup with a BB but Im not what he's full setup is.
The wheels also come in +23 offset as well.

Wheel noobie here.

TopGear8 02-14-2011 11:12 AM

^You obviously didn't read any pages if your asking if 18x9.5 +15 and 245's will fit without any fender mods...You'll not only need to roll the fenders, but you'll need to do some other work as well...

iemdan 02-15-2011 12:18 PM

18x9.5 +22

My sig is gone because I give up on this thread.

The Reverend 02-15-2011 12:45 PM

do people just look at pictures of cars and think that it automatically happens?

TrevorsTII 02-15-2011 07:03 PM

Looking back at a previous wheel/tire option i am considering.

car specs:
Tanabe springs, 1.5-2.0in drop
around -1.5 camber

17x9 +25 with 245/45/17 I know i will just need a roll and trim tab.
I just want to know if i can run a wider tire without pulling fenders?

nSlave 02-17-2011 05:15 PM

What's the widest members here have gone with 18", without scrubbing and no fender mods, and stock camber?

Offset does not matter.

The Reverend 02-17-2011 05:17 PM

11 afaik

J8635621 02-17-2011 05:22 PM

Who did that? I'm only aware of 18x10.5 +43 with 265 or 275s.

The Reverend 02-17-2011 05:29 PM

nuke i believe

and that cat mike with the 11 +23 and the 245s i think (white 8 work meisters i think)

J8635621 02-17-2011 05:33 PM

Yea nuke has the setup I'm talking about, but the guy is asking about stock camber, no rolling the fenders, and no rubbing lol.

The Reverend 02-17-2011 05:35 PM

what are you some kind of sick wheel fitment stalker

i talked to mike at sevenstock, hes at 18x11 +23, he rolled iirc tho but did not touch his camber. he's only on springs. and tires were stretched idr what size

so i guess to the original question the answer is no one lol

J8635621 02-17-2011 05:35 PM

Rev maybe you know the answer to this question.....I was thinking about getting some wheels and want to know how to read this accurately. http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/2009/pro...9&for=domestic

So face C will work for our car but will not work for Evos/STI/Supra/Skyline, right? So if I got a Face C it would severly limit my market if I decided to sell them?

The Reverend 02-17-2011 05:39 PM

ya basically the disk face hi (A), normal (b), super low (C).

10.5 wide with 265/275 tyres with stock camber and no fendermods/scrubbing.
Im surprised he can get away with going this wide.

Looking to drop on Tein H-Tech, hopefully I can get away with a similar setup or slightly smaller.

Does the member have any photos of this setup?

J8635621 02-17-2011 06:32 PM

1st off....that's a retarded amount of tire for a nonFI car. 2nd...he is lowered on s-techs and that makes a tiny bit of difference but I don't think he mentioned running extra camber. 3rd...it will stick out past the fenders on stock height but won't rub when under load. 4th...he has a ton of pictures Nuke0907 or something like that http://www.vertex-usa.com/customers-....html#more-819

CVale127 02-17-2011 06:33 PM

Has anyone tried:

Front: 19 x 8.5 with 235/35/19 offset 20
Rear: 19 x 10 with 255/35/19 offset22

With stock spring and shocks ? or with Tokico D-specs and Tein S-Tech springs ? Right now I have the stock set up and was planning on gettin this wheel set up, but also plan on getting that second suspension set up I mentioned in the very near future....

I'm pretty sure with the drop I would need rear fender rolling but I think with the stock suspension I should be fine. What do you guys think ?

nSlave 02-17-2011 11:42 PM

Thanks J.
Im looking at a similiar wheel setup but not so much rubber. Looking at 255 max for rubber and 10" wide max.

I'll have to do some more research so I don't get wheels that dont fit.

You'll need to roll your rears regardless of drop; fronts will be ok. The wheels won't look like they fit very well until you are dropped, so you may want to get the springs first, then wheels.

Yeah you can fit a 255 no problem. Plenty of grip for an NA 8 in my opinion... might need to trim some plastic in the fender wells but no big deal.

A 265 can be used if you add more camber (or pull fenders).
