18x7.5 48 offset rims and 225/40-18 tires. How does this sound??? Who has this already?

dt07Si · 12-18-2007, 05:55 AM

Complex is running a 17 x 7.5 with a 48mm offset of his Time attack Volk TE37's with a 225 tire I believe.

18x7.5 +35 w/ 225/40 R18 fits...but you need to roll the front fenders a bit with a 1.5-1.75in drop.

There is nothing to roll on the front fenders, its just a plastic fender liner. You can roll the rear fenders though.

If my car is stock height then do I need to worry about rubbing still?
(again 18x7.5 w/ 48 offset)

I have a question for you guys, if you're afraid that your rims will get scratched when you want them balanced or mounted are there special shops around that handle these wheels or a regular shop is fine?

I wouldn't be the slightest bit worried about rubbing with that wheel size on stock suspension.

I would go wo a reputable shop and make it known that you want them to be careful with the wheels. Most good shops no what there doing though and are careful with wheels that their working with.

I am going for that exact setup. It really depends on your drop, and amount of negative camber.

Worst case i will be running a stock 215/45/17

ray3111 · 12-30-2007, 04:03 AM

so i should jus put off on the wheels until i get my suspension in "/

17x8 offset +55 would this fitment fit on a 07 civic ex sedan?

Pedro Hamdan · 01-04-2008, 01:13 PM

Help a brazillian member.... I have doubts, I go to buy 18" wheels and want to use tires 225/40/18 and would like to know which offset would have that to be the wheels to use in my car without rub...

I am using eibach in my car, photo below:

JeShUa · 01-04-2008, 03:13 PM

I'd run some 5mm spacers with those.

kirks07si · 01-07-2008, 11:41 PM

Mainly depends on the width of the wheel.

Yes. A 215 is designed for a 7"-8" wide wheel. However some 215's may appear to have a mild stretch and other will not, just depends on the make and model.

s0opa_Si · 01-10-2008, 01:54 PM

i dont know if this has been answered

but would this setup be wise?

17x8, 5x114, 48 offset?

klk15 · 01-11-2008, 06:25 PM

will a 17x7 35 mm offset wheel tires are 215/45/17 rub on a FA5 with Tein S tech's installed (1.5 inch drop)?

You would lose 16mm of clearance between the inner edge of the wheel/tire and the strut. Which may very well cause the tire to rub against the strut depending on the tire size, I wouldnt advise such a high offset on a 17 x 8, because you would probably end up having to space them out to eliminate inner rubbing.

I think you would be fine.
