Yeah you can use 245 all around, no problem.

Can I use something bigger on the back since the back are 9.5?

TopGear8 12-01-2008 12:10 PM

^You could, but since the wheels have such an aggressive offset, you will need to roll your fenders. On a 9.5" wheel. 275's would be flush.

So what size should I use in order to look nice aggressive look but dont have to roll fenders?

imput1234 12-01-2008 12:42 PM

there is no way your gonna be able to run 275 without a good pull, and even then you'll still have problems.

Riken 12-01-2008 01:06 PM

So 245/45/18 front and how about 255/45/18 or 265 rear?

imput1234 12-01-2008 02:14 PM

255 would be fine, but you have to get rolled.

Riken 12-01-2008 02:17 PM

ok so if I get 245 I dont need to roll hmmmm

imput1234 12-01-2008 02:34 PM

getting your fenders rolled is not hard, just take time and be careful.

Riken 12-01-2008 02:35 PM

Im thinking 255 or 265 would look better. What to do lol.

imput1234 12-01-2008 02:37 PM

Get the wider size if you want. Any size will fit, if you do the right stuff. btw how low are u?

Riken 12-01-2008 02:41 PM

I have Esperil 1.2' on the front. Rear is stock. I wanted to lower it after installing the rims.

TopGear8 12-01-2008 02:48 PM

^I'd just put some 265's on there and do the work needed for them to fit. It will look more aggressive and have better overall grip for those mountain roads.

imput1234 12-01-2008 03:11 PM

^honestly our car doesn't have enough power to need 265. But if your doing it for looks. It does look cool.

TopGear8 12-01-2008 03:16 PM

^Well maybe he has a turbo! :)

Riken 12-01-2008 05:54 PM

lol no turbo, just going for the look I guess. Thanks for all the help guys.

What should I use for tires?

A friend is giving me a pair of Nexen N3000 245/45/18 for $50 bux new. Can I use these? If so where front or rear and what should I get for the other 2?


Sorry to disappoint you those won't fit......wrong lug pattern, ours are 5 X 114.3...the rears are going to rub bad as well.......they are out about 1/2 " from what fits with a roll...unless you have really narrow tires like 245's or so

RIWWP 12-01-2008 08:10 PM

I have been trolling ebay and craigslist looking for decent cast-off snow tires for this winter (can't spend much), and found a decent set for cheap enough, 235/50/17. I have a set of 17x7.5 rims already, and i know those tires fit those rims, but looking at http://www.wheelsmaster.com interactive chart, it is showing 35mm closer to brake components and fills wheel well more, being 16mm closer to the fender. Will this still fit?

8 is completely stock still.

WOW so these wont fit at all? cause of the lug pattern? Kill me lol

vtec this 12-01-2008 10:21 PM

Im looking at 18x8.5 + 45 all the way around, also planning on dropping the car on the eibach pro kit which lowers front 1.2" and the rear .8" Will these wheels fit without rolling fenders? Will they look somewhat close to flush? Will i need spacers or will they stick out a bunch?

alexisthemovie 12-01-2008 10:32 PM

yes easily and no they will not be flush

Could i use spacers to push them out a little?

imput1234 12-01-2008 10:56 PM

yup.

vtec this 12-01-2008 11:56 PM

how much of a space do you think i would need to make it look close to flush

alexisthemovie 12-02-2008 03:12 AM

18x8.5 +25 should sit pretty well with a 235 and little camber.
