Default Fitment question

Could i run wheels that are 18X8.5 +45 all the way around? THey are wrapped in tires that are 225/40/18.

Would they fit without rubbing? How would it affect performance since they are NOT staggered?

You don't want to run those tire sizes in the rear. That will be a big downgrade from stock! Tires also should be 35 profile when going with an 18" wheel to keep the oem gearing.

If your doing non staggered should run 255's all around. 225's will be a definitely downgrade.

so does non staggered set up basically equate to lesser performance? I love Advan Version 2s but can't find them staggered anywhere for a decent price.

No. Many track guys are non staggered. It will induce more oversteer so for an ap1 it is good to possibly get s front sway bar or something when doing so.
Just 225's would not be ideal for a non staggered setup. Can get those wheels but then just run 255's or so all around instead.

The 225/40R18 would work fine but it is not ideal. If it is a daily driver you would be fine. The height of the 225/40R18 is the same as stock. If I can help with anything let me know.
