Hotchkiss and 18"s which tire and offset?
I have the Hotchkiss lowering springs on my car now. Looking to put 18" wheels on but I don't want to roll fenders or rub. What offset and tire size do I need to get to insure no rubbing for sure?
Thanks
Thanks

18x6 et35mm with a 205/40R18 won't rub for sure! j/k!
18x8 et35mm with a 235/40R18 is a safe bet. Will fit pretty much like factory except it'll sit out 3mm (1/8") more than stock.
18x9 et35mm with a 255/35R18 is real close to rubbing the rear fender edges but it's a nice look.
there are many combos you can run but fender rolling/trimming starts to become a factor.
you asked for no rubbing and no rolling so 18x8 et35 with a 235/40R18 would be best eevn tho there are other combos you could go with w/o rubbing.
PM me if there's a specific combo you wanna run and i'll tell you if it'll work.

I'm running 18x8.5 +30 CE28's (235/40/18) mine don't even come close to rubbing.Even @ full lock.
I want a wider stance so I plan to run spacers to kick em out more and still think they will be perfect.maybe a little rolling on teh rear though.
