Default 18 x 8.5 52 offset

Hi all,

I'm interested in picking up a set of 18 x 8.5 52 offset RE30 from another member, but i just want to make sure the front will not rub the fenders, does anyone has idea about it?


Thanks for the help..!!

There's no sure thing~because there are a lot of other variables. What suspension-how low, alignment settings, all play a part. The biggest variable is tire size. I feel pretty confident that a 215/40/18 Sumitomo HTR Z lll would fit the front, but a 225/40/18 might require a roll and more camber....for the rear a 255/35/18 should be fine.

Now, if you say this setup comes non staggered 255, I'm not gonna be the one to tell you no problem..

Thanks for the reply, but will 215 tire fits on a 18x8.5 wheel? will it stretches the tire?



Again, Thanks for the help..

Yes~HTR 215/40/18 is rated for 7"~8.5". It does fall on the stretched side, but is within spec. Nice and light too....21lbs for that size.
