Default 18" wheels

Sorry if this is prob the millionth thread on this but the search engine didnt help me really.

I know that the S has a 45 offset front, and 55 rear, and the only 2 wheels I have been told fit perfectly are the OZ superleggaras and the Mille Miglia Evo's.

So what Id like to know is that are there any other wheels out there that fit ? and if I were to go for an 8x18 front and 9x18 rear setup would 225/40 front and 255/35 rear be OK ?

Theres a few wheels you can get in the right fitments in the UK, more if you import from Japan or USA.

tyre sizes you have given are fine, but if you even considered evo's dont as they have none in the country until at least end of april, reason i know this is i am waiting for just one to have my car back after being hit and i cannot due to none of these wheels in stock or made as yet.

have a look on the main for sale forum i have seen some good wheel deals come up in the last few weeks, all from the US but its not as hard to buy from there as people think. dont buy from the first place you find, shop around for the best prices and dont go for the cheapest tyre.

Are Mikey K's EVO 5 wheels up for sale? His Volks arrived yesterday so presumably he is now looking for a buyer (unless I've missed the for sale thread and he has alreayd pre-sold them ).

I wont post pics of my OZ Superleggera's as you want something different.

I just pressed the Search button at the top:



I put in this search:



And i got 7 pages of results:



And if you choose search entire post, you get 9 pages of results.

Or you can try the dedicated tire and wheel forum where there are lots more wheels

Hope that helps
