Just phone me when you have something picked out :) |
I am interested in new wheels/tires. So far these catch my eye:
Buddy Club QF 18x9 35mm offset. Toyo R1R 255/40/18. Stock height, Koni shocks (not that it matters). Does anyone see any problem with these? I am concerned about fit, of course. I know there will be tire longevity issues with the Toyos. What about the QF lightweight wheels -- what are the risks with these vs., say, CE28N Volks? Thanks for the help, d |

Would 18x9.5'' fit all around or produce any problems? I got a dude that wants to trade these for my stockers.

depends on the offset.

Oh and im just a dr. I don't want too aggressive ;) tires chosen: continental contisportcontact 3 245/30ZR20 XL |
Bolt pattern : 5 x 114.3
Size : 18 x 8.5(front) & 18x9.5(rear) Offset : 35mm(front & rear) Will it fit. |
yes, except the rear fender must be rolled depending on your tire size.
|
Sportmax 008 Rim
Front&Rear: 18x7.5 +48 offset Bolt Pattern: 5x100 and 5x114.3 Tire: 225/45ZR-18 Will it fit? |
After a lot of research, reading all the posts in this thread and consulting with a few tire shops, I decided to go with F:20x8.5 and R:20x10 and couldn't be happier. Special thanks goes out to "Kel Rx8" for answering all my PMs.
So if you're wondering if it will fit... YES, F: 20x8.5s and R: 20x10's will fit! Here are the specs and link to photos for reference: F: 20x8.5 +40 245/35/20 (235s may be better for more clearance though) R: 20x10 +46 275/30/20 (Rear fenders rolled and some plastic was trimmed due to the aggressive drop) http://good-times.webshots.com/album/564875917NwUURb |

on the 9.5 rear? well, it will be stretched, but it should fit.
Got a temporary situation that might require me putting hoohoos meant for stockers on wheels meant for bigger tires but I won't be able to swap 'em till next year when I can spring for some nice daily tires. Not sure how stretching would affect the tire when it goes back to the stock setup. Might effect the decision on the wheels Eventually the 245/40/18 go on stockers and I'll get 255/275s that have good fitment on the new wheels. |
alright, i've been out of the wheel and tire game for a while, so...
245/40/18 tires all around... is this size a modest upgrade? what size wheel should i be looking at with the 245 without stretching anything? |

8 inch or 8.5 inch wheel. but whether it fits or not has to do with your offset.
what if i were to run 265/40/18 tires.... would that be a 9" wheel? what offset? |

well, what would be an ideal offset for a 8 inch wheel? with this setup?

That tire size is larger than OEM so it will most likely rub if the offset it too low. Haven't seen that size used it so I can't say what offset would clear it. would probably have to be over +45. |
thanks! you're a big help.
