69808, Will this wheel fit on our cars?
Posted by FlyinEsi, Mar-30-04 07:33 AM
Size 18x8.5
Offset +35
Tire 235/40/18 or 225/40/18 (would rather have the 235)
Looking to drop on Tein SS. How far could I lower before I have a problem, or would i just have to roll the fenders?

i have 18 x 8 with a 38 mm offset and 225/40/18 tires. Im also dropped 2" on Sprint springs. My rears seem to be ok with the fenders rolled and the $15 camber mod. Now my fronts are the problem. As long as i leave atleast -1.5 degrees of camber its ok. still rubs the fender but not too bad. When i adjust the camber where its supposed to be i cant drive the car at all cause the front tires are about 1/8" away from the fenders. So even the smallest bump and the tire rubs and i get a little smoke and can smell rubber. Thats my experience with what i have.

The sales rep I talked to said they will fit fine on the GSX, even with a 2" drop.

man 8.5 is gonna be too wide. I seriously would get a second opinion. Better check over at tuners.

Yeah get a second opinion. Sales guys will tell you anything to make a sale.

235's will fit, but you probably shouldn't lower it over 1.5" or your tires will rub the fenders.
