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.

So being 18's they will definately rub?

You may have 3-5mm more room on the inside...

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

9.5 + 30 should be fine. as long as your car is dropped a little otherwise they will look like they stick out. they will tuck in fine though.

[ironpaw]

Well the next question is: gtr rims or works xt7? I like the look of the xt7 but gtr is forged and lighter...hmmm

I'm running a 18x9.5 with a 15 offset, fits perfect now... And I plan to run 10mm spacers once I lower too.

[ironpaw]

Hmmm so +30 won't fit?!? +15 is like...crazy

[scotty nm35]

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.

[ironpaw]

hmm so the wider the rim = more grip, but less "refinement"? so more noise and bumps and stuff...and more expensive tyres obviously...

For your reference mate.

Axis S AWD with R34 rims (look like a nice fit to me)

[ironpaw]

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?
