I am buying these wheel today or tomorrow and need some advice. I don't want them to stick out like some of the pictures I have seen on here. I would like them to be at least flush with the fender. What offsets are you running and what problems did you encounter. I am prepared to do fender rolling/spacers, thats it though.

Also I need help with tires, I am planning on running 615's and need to know if 255's are going to be a problem.

Also I am going to be running Swift springs. Anyone running this setup your help is greatly appreciated

 

you just gotta run some negative camber to get them tucked in the front, for the rear you'll rub its like really big bumps that like makes your car bounce when you got ppl in the rear......you can go for like 245/45/18 rt615 and let them stretch a bit

 

OK, I am not worried about rear passangers as I plan to install a roll bar in the near future. Are you running them, pics are welcomed

 

The 615's in 255/40/18 on 18x9 offset +35. Camber -2 front and -1 rear. No rub car is a bit lower then stock...about a inch lower...the pic was taken on a decline so the front is a bit high.



with 255's on a 9.5 rim..might have to get a higher offset and do some fender rolling in the rear.

 

BTW i been to Kaiserslautern before back in 2001, Did the club/bar thing...good times. Was too drunk to remember the places...LOL

 

I can't help much with figuring out your offset and such, but my 18X9.5 +40 w/25mm front spacers and 285/30-18 race tires don't stick out in the rear and only stick out a little up front. I don't know why you'd want to avoid that when all it means is you have extra track width up front and therefore better handling overall. Up to you, though. I've posted many pictures of my setup if you're interested in seeing the fit.

One other comment is I would highly suggest doing a better tire for such awesome rims, because the 615s just don't compare to an RE-01R or Z1 (regular or Star Spec). If you're going to have a roll bar, then doesn't that mean you'll be racing. If you'll be racing, does that mean you plan to switch race tires on and off these rims, or do you plan to use the 615s for racing...or do you have a completely separate set of rims and tires for racing?

 

18x9.5 nt03m with +40 will end up flush with a wide 265. +27 will stick out more.

 

I have been looking at your pics in other threads and it's tollerable for me. I just think I am going to run a 265/35 for now. I am getting these shipped for a killer price and I only plan to learn on this setup. In the future I will be going with a good Shock/Spring combo and will upgrade the tires then.

With only a 265, what would you run a +27 or +40? And would I still need the +25mm spacer?

 

you want the +40 offset..... will fit perfect in rear & you need a 17-20mm hubcentric spacer infront

 

Is their a difference in how the face of the wheel looks between the 27 and 40? In all the pics I have been looking at they look the same?

 

The difference in how the face looks is very minimal hence why they look so similar.

 

Allright +40 it is, I will have a thread up when I get them on. Thanks for helping me decide

 

OK I need some last minute help before I place my order!!! Any advice is always appreciated

Does anyone forsee any problems with this setup? I here 2 different things for the spacers though, what do I need to be flush and just rolling fenders if need be? And is 265/35 the right decision?
