Do you think the sidewall is too big now? Overall diameter is pretty close with 275/30, ie the sidewall will be about 1/2" shorter than stock. 265/30 will have more wheel gap and make it easier to bend the rims. edit: Don't get 8.5 +45 for the front, atleast get 35.

ZEROTIDE: those will be ok - IMO, get a more aggresive offset. at 9" wide, aim for +30 
If you can't find anything below that offset, go wider.
Noodle: IMO, i like 245/40 - you can possibly go slightly less on the side wall but that's just me. I like tall sidewalls

have a few questions
hi guys, searched but couldn't find this particular offset.
18x8.5 +33 on 245/40/18
From what I've gathered, I don't think I'll have any rubbing issues, right?
(currently at stock height)
I'm considering dropping the car in the future, but would it be possible with +33 offset and no fender roll?
Thanks-

^ lol the offset of life! wrong offset = spending more money = make life more miserable
try not to mess up on the offset... its only a one shot thing and once you mess up you cant go back! you will regret it for life!

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a brand new set of wheels. My choice so far is the Volk CE28N which are very light.
I have two choices, either 18x9.5 or 19x9.5. I want the same size for all wheel.
Is this too wide for the front ?
I was looking to put some 255/35/19 on the 19" but have no idea of what would be best for the 18".
Please help me out, I have no idea about the offset, +34, +40, +42, +47 for the 18" or +35, +45 for the 19". I am totally lost here.
Anyone has experience with that size ? Should I aim for something conservative like a 8.5" or 9"
the reason why I am looking for these wheels is the look and the weight. 17 lbs for the 18" and 21lbs for the 19". You will understand that I have a preference for the 18". BTW I am tracking (lapping) from time to time, so the handling is very important for me.
Thanks,

I have set of ce28n for sale... size is 18x8.5 +30 with tires 245/40/18 front and 18x9.5 +34 with tires 275/35/18.
The front is perfect without rubbing and the rears needs to be rolled.
check out my album and pm if interested.
