Im more worried about the fenders rubbing. I've searched the forums and I've read the max offset would be +35 but I've seen people running them with the rims having a width of only 8".


Im trying to run 18 x 8.5" with +35 offset and 225/40/18 tires. I will be running the ingalls camber kit and I'll be rolling or shaving off the rear fenders as well. Also note the car will be lowered about 2 inches. Im worried about the extra 1/2" width on the rims and if there's enough clearance on the front during turns.

I just wanna make sure once all this is done there wouldn't be any problems. Any of you guys with similar set ups let me know your experiences and suggestions Thanks

I think you should be fine with that setup, but it might look kind of funny. A 225 tire doesn't fit that well on a 8.5" rim. But I was running 235/45/18 on a +42 18x8" rim and I had non stop rub. If I could have tucked it in 7mm on the rim and 10mm on the tire, I think I probably would have made it. Just be careful on the tire width/rim width combo you are looking at.

Yeah Im kinda worried about the tire/width combo. We'll see how it goes.I plan to get the wheels this weekend. Thanks for the help,
