Will 18 x 9.5 +30 fit ok?

I know the GTR rims fit fine and they are 9.0 +30....

Dont want to buy rims that dont fit...again!

I would stick to 9 inch +30, mine stuck out a little on the front and were nearly rubbing on the inside but they are 17's.

hmm pardon my ignorance...so the taller the rims the more clearane there is?

Yep, the bracket bends around the tyre, as you will see when you change them over.

I must admit, it makes the car handle the corners well with the 9 inch rims with semi's but the refinement I have now with the 8 inch + 235 road tyres makes up for it. No hint of tramlining or noise, good grip, its only the softer sidewalls causing it to feel a bit squirmy turning a tight radius corner.

Can anyone vouch for the accuracy of this site?

Apparently if I go 245/45/18 x 9.5 +30 it'll be the same (clearance wise) as my stock 215/55/17 x 7 +45 setup...and it'll stick out 30mm

please clarify

i have been told from numerouse mag wheel dealers that 9.5 on the stagea is to wide and will creat issues

i am looking at dropping my m35 on some BC BR coilovers and running big break kits witch mean ill be running 19 inch mags

so what size width mags can i get with 19s? that i can use on the stagea that wont rub 8.5s or 9s

if i get a spacer does that mean i can go wider ?

with offset does a - or a + offset mean a bigger dish etc

or do u guys recomend 18s for the stagea

Spoolin12 , is running 19x9.5 at what must be around+20 odd now. At +30 his were still under the guards... Just. The tops tuck in more the lower you go.

He'd be the man to talk to, as I think his rims are probably the widest and the most aggressive offsets on here.

+ or - doesn't mean anything with regard to dish; only offset. However, the closer to a -ve offset you go; the better chance of dish.

He told me he was running +40's? so he must've been running a 10mm spacer...

Guess my 9.5 +12 LE37's ain't gonna fit without guards being rolled!

What brand/model rims did Spoolin run?

    • Chrome surrounds back on and polished up, no idea why some knob would prime a single piece 馃檮
    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
    • Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
