ok guys i need help im am thinking of purchasing a very nice set of 18s they are 18x7.5 witha 42mm offset will these work on a ralliart???i dont want any rubbing an im willing to go with a really low profile tire any answeres would help a bunch thanks a lot fellas!

 

tirerack recomends 215/35/18 rubber but I don't know about 7 1/2 wheel though.

 

I have a 205/40/17 with a +38 offset, and that barely fits. I would think you would have problems with a 7.5" wide wheel with rubbing no matter how low profile you go with. Plus if you go with too low profile you will have problems with your speedometer.

 

Hey I'm in the same situation. I got a deal on a set of Arospeed's that are 18 x 7.5 with a +45 offset.

Anyone know for sure if these will fit without issues. I want to car sitting where it is and no tucking. Last thing I want to do is buy these wheels and find out theres going to be issues.

 

I suggest that you drive a vehicle with 18's on first. They look great but slow so slow. I'm paranoid when it comes to wheels because I had big wheels on my old civic and it was the worst thing I ever did. I plan on sticking with 16's on the RA "lightweight"

 

New to the scene...and this might sound a bit dumb, but can someone explain off set???...I want some 18's as well and I don't want to regret buying something that is goin' to mess up or give me problems.

 

get some 17's and some light ones

 

Is there really that much of a difference between 17's and 18's? and agina what is the biggest we can fit width wise in our cars... 7, 7.5?

 

Offset is the amount of space between where the wheel mounts (at the hub) and the actual centerline of the wheel. If it is moved to the outside of the car it is a positive offset and to the inside of the car for negative offset.

 

if you wanna go for look,go 18s, if you wanna go performance keep 16s or smaller!!!!
it depends where is your prioritys.

 

you can actually fit 18s on a ra and not have any probs i would know i have 18x7.5 42offset 215/18/35 the wheels look almost identical to the stocc ones except bigger and they are flush with the car its sicc not once have they rubbed as for speed i did notice a difference in accel but not enough to change my mind actually i saw a 20" that would fit but who the hell would do that

 

sicc22 do you have any photos?

Also, Thanks for the reply man I'm super pumped to here that they fit!

 

no one will get pics untill i get the spoiler and the windows tinted trust me well woth the wait to see the blacc on blacc theam plus i don't need any body sporting my rims

 

Most of the 18's we have are either 7" or 7.5" wide. Offsets vary from 40mm-42mm depending on the wheel, and we recommend a 215/35-18 tire

 

so ur saying a 7.5 will work with a ralliart?no rubbing?Thanks neal
