I found a great deal on a set of wheels that I am looking at but they are only in 18x7.5. So I could not get a different front or rear. Would 18x7.5 fit all around? If so, what size tires and what would the offsets need to be?

there was a post the otehr day on this exact subject, but no you really do not want to do this. not only will it look funny, but more improtantly, your car won't handle right because you will not be about to run tires wide enough in the rear....

Thats what I thought. I am going to get the CP-035's but I am finding so much different info on them.
I think I will get 17" now. But I am finding different versions and some say you can get silver and some say you can't. I want silver. I would like to get the lighter ones too. I guess 17x7.5 in the front and 17x8.5 in the rear is the way to go. I will search and try and find the proper offsets.

I am currently running 18x7.5 +48 all the way around. With 225/40ZR18 tires. Although this works and looks good from the side, I'm want to get wider wheels/tires in the rear. These were just off my Acura 3.2TL, and wanted to see how they fit!

 

Is there any way I could put smaller tires on the front than 225 or larger tires on the rear of an 18x7.5 wheel? Also, what offset do I need with an 18x7.5 wheel?
Thanks,

Do you think it will be fine? Will handling and performance be the same as if I did larger rear wheels and tires?

If you don't want the TE-37... I think the only good one in my mind now is the Advan RG.... it has good offset for our stook... 17x7.5 front 48mm, 17x8.5 rear 50mm... but those ain't cheap.. and you may have to wait a while to let it shipped from Japan if the distributor in US doesn't have the right offset wheel in stock..!! good luck..! oh!! also, racing hart doesn't have any right offset wheel for stook for now..!! I had C5 before, but you can't lower it more than 1 inch, it is a pain...! so... I would recommand Advan RG if you don't want TE-37.. good luck

 

I temporarily put my 18x7.5 Volk III's on my red S2000 from my 99 Prelude. The 225 Pirelli's that were on the 18's weren't nearly as wide as the stock 225 S02's. They were at least 1/2" skinnier and it didn't look right.

I'd go for a wider rim in the rear. 8" minimum, 8.5" is best

 

brandonb,


Yep...definately go for a wider wheel in rear.

I have 18x8.5 +50mm in rear...and I am thirsting for a 18x9...
