Default 18x7.5 +48, 18x8.5 +43

Looking at picking up some Gram Lights 57 Optimise in 18x7.5 +48 fronts and 18x8.5 +43 rears.

Do you guys think that it would fit well and not require much work? I'm willing to roll my quarter panels and fenders. I don't really want to do an agressive pull or anything.

I'm also lowered on Tein Springs and Koni Yellow Shocks.

That brings me to the next question. What size tires would you guys recommend?

Thanks for the help. Also if anyone has pics of this size and offset on any rims that would be great if you could post a pic so I can see how flush it sits.

With those wheels you should be fine with a fender lip roll and negative camber. You would be best to stay with narrower tires for the best fit.
If I can help let me know.

THanks for the reply.

I'm sure I'll be ordering tires from you come spring time when the turbo build is done.

Thanks

Vi3tBoy -

What tire sizes did you think would work well for these wheels?
I have the very same wheels & offsets.

Time to replace the tires that are on them 215/40R18 and 225/40R18.
Would definitely like more width in the back.

My AP1 has Tein lowering springs, otherwise stock.

Thanks.

215/40/18 and 245/35/18 as long as you have rolled fenders.
