18x7 / 18x8 , HELP - please
 

Help PLEASE

would this fit ? .....car has -1" drop

front 18x7 +40 with 215/40/18

rear 18x8 +40 with 235/40/18



Thanks

Both need to be bigger... but especially the rear

Front is close and the rear is very marginal. With an aggressive alignment you might be ok but don't hold me to it ;) The choice of tire size will probably keep you safe but beware the limited amount of stagger is not ideal.

thanks l8brakr,

i'm going to try this !!!!!

Your rear wheel face will move out about 1.2" per side from stock 16".

aggie,


according to "some" calc's -
rear wheel face should move out about 18mm. (less then 3/4")

................correct me if i'm wrong !!!!!!!!!!!

31.35mm to be exact (1.23") That is 17mm more than my set up and from looking at my car it should put the rim right at the outside edge of the fender. Like I said I think the 235 tire and an aggressive alignment are the only things that will keep it from rubbing. Hopefully you're getting these for a good price and can dump them if needed. BTW, what wheels are they?

I don't think even the small tires and aggressive alignment will save you from rubbing. What wheels? Post some pics when you get them.

i got them very cheap :-)....... so i'm planning to do some work on my fenders........( i mean my friend will )

- he did it to his M3 ..........looks good

wheels are TSW Catlunya..............

here you go , some pics
