Nimraynn Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Whats the offset of the wheels? I'm running 225/40/18 on 8J ET35 and 255/35/18 on 9J ET40 on a coupe dropped on coilovers. I don't have any rubbing issues with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xvfy Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 no issues with those offsets mate, i have 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 all ET35 lowered on sportlines with occasional rubbing, which you won't likely come across on 18's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz 330 Cs Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 no issues with those offsets mate, i have 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 all ET35 lowered on sportlines with occasional rubbing, which you won't likely come across on 18's Wheel diameter has nothing to do with it. If the tyres are too wide they'll rub. The op is asking what size ? I'm saying no wider than a 235/35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimraynn Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 which you won't likely come across on 18's The profile of the tyre should cause the 19's and the 18's to have roughly the same rolling circumference so if the tyres are too wide on the 19's, they'll be too wide on the 18's.

Straight6 josh Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 8,5x18 ET35 9,5x18 ET35 5x120 Sounds fine too me, i have 18" 8.5 et 22 and 9.5 et 27 with stretched tyres. slight bit of rubbing from mine so im having an arch roll. The offsets your looking at though should be fine with the right choice in tyre size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
