Wheel buying help?

[randyO]

I know nothing about wheel specs and I was just wondering would these wheels fit? The guide isn't working right on tapatalk.

The bolt pattern is right. But they are very aggressive. Might require some serious camber and stretched tires to fit without rubbing.

This guy ran 18x9.5 +23 with a pretty narrow tire. He never said if he rubbed or not though.

Wouldn't a 9" wheel be less aggressive this requiring less camber and stretch then that guy is running?

 

[randyO]

Thus*

It was the closest fitment I could find to what you had posted but yes, it'll be 1/4" less wide on either side. That's not much difference but it's a little. Also 1mm inboard and the 23 vs 24 offset.

 

[randyO]

So if he had no problems running it the. I should be fine?

 

[Nix]

Well, he never said if he rubbed or not or how hard. So, it depends. I bet that he rubbed a lot.

Check the chart on the first page here"

There is an RPF1 18x9 +22 listed that rubbed a bit until they rolled their fenders. They were on a 2" drop with 225/40 tires. I personally would not run anything narrower than a 225 width tire on a 9" wheel but that is up to you. Some people stretch a 205 onto wider wheels than that. I think it unsafe but that is personal choice.

 

[randyO]

I was going to use the factory tires which are 225 on the 9"

What is your current suspension setup, or are you on the stock suspension?

 

[randyO]

Stock right now but I wanna go with either eibach pro or sport lines.

 

[webby]

pro is like a 1.2" drop
sportlines 1.8" drop

You'd be about 1/4" less pushed out towards the fender than what you see below

18x9 +42/18x10 +50 will thy fit? Annmnd go?

 

[Nix]

I think you will have a lot of issues with the 18x10. The +50 and the width might be realllllll tight on the inside and possibly rub the strut.

I think @FG4 Pjay is running quite a wide wheel though. 18x9.5 +35 I think.


Also, why such a wide wheel?

 

[randyO]

A buddy has them for sale, he's selling them at a pretty good deal.

 

[randyO]

They are BBS super RS and I love those wheels

 

[Nix]

If he's a really good buddy, ask if you can swing by his house and test fit them. I think you may find they are going to be a problem. I could be wrong but I would highly suggest doing that if you can.

Lots of - camber

They only look good when slammed.
