ok guys im getting wheels this week and i alredy have tires for it for rear im running 265/35/18 and my plan is to run 18x11 on the back..i already rolled the fenders with a slight pull also..wonder if this wide wheels will fit without any problems or do i need more modification..wheel offset is 38..never ran wheels this wide so im wondering ?any halp is appreciated thanks.

 

aha i see thanks ..i might run 18x9 then in back i guess..dont wanna rub at all honestly

 

you can run 11 in the back with stock fenders with the right offset. look at the ccw threads to get a better idea of what fits and what doesn't. i'm personally running 18x10.5 +70ish with 285's in the rear on stock rolled fenders with some more room to go. Going to get extended studs and run 10-13mm spacers in the rear. most people commonly run 18x 11.5 +57 i believe, with 285 tires

 

It's never going to fit without over fenders. With stock fenders and 18x11 your suppose to be in the 60"s+ in terms of offset and run a 285/30/18 or a 295/30/18 tire.

 

Yea cant really find wheels in that offset for my budget ..not ready for ccws..but for now ill run 18x9 should be ok with those with a roll and slight pull on fender .thanks guys

 

www.forgestar.com. they're customizable (somewhat) and are like $1400 a set?

 

Just checked em out ..don't like the wheel choice they offer .nothing that would fit s2k nicely in my taste..but thank man

 

I would get a narrower wheel instead. In my personal opinion an 11 on the s2k is pushing it if you care at all about performance.. Going with such a wide wheel without pushing a lot of power will add to the overall rotational weight will hurt your acceleration, braking, mpg, as well as the added sprung & unsprung weight of your suspension.


Why not just get a 9.5 or 10 and still run the 265. Check our VMR Wheels new V702, they machine them in-house so you can order an 18x9.5 +57, 45, 33, 22, all in the 5x114.3 bolt pattern. I plan on getting a set after Christmas, presents are expensive this year..

I'd run something along the lines of a 18x9.5 +57 all around, or a staggered offset, 18x9.5 +45, 18x9.5 +57.

 

I'm running 18x11 +57 with 265’s but they do rub on rare occasion even with rolled fenders and relocated tab. I know I can get em to squeeze in by rolling the fender a bit more but it rarely happens anyway, I just don't take dips at speed haha. Keep in mind that section widths for tires also vary by manufacturers.

 

Wow lots of not quite correct info in here. First off the offset and the width go hand in hand. The narrower the wheel the high the offset you can run and conversely the wider the wheel the higher the offset. A 17x7 +35 is much less aggressive than a 17x10 +35 because offset is measured from the centerline of the wheel so width makes a difference.

Next 11 inch wide in the back is not a decrease in performance. As many of the track guys have shown even with stock power the more grip you can have they faster you can be. Clearly you don't want 40lb wheels or crap tires but this is generally true and 11 inch wide is a good setup if you can find the right wheels and get them to fit.

As for your tire choice you really should be running something like a 285 or even 295 for an 11 inch wide wheel. This will have little not no stretch. Assuming the wheels you are looking at don't require stretched tires to fit go wider as they will fit the wheel.
