Here are some general guidelines:
  • 18x9 +28 to +35 would be an acceptable range. The +25 requiring a little more rear fender work (rear fender roll)
  • 18x9.5 +30 to +38 would be an acceptable range. The +30 requiring a little more rear fender work (rear fender roll for sure. Tire size may require more work)
Hi me again and now i have found som nice wheels Enkei ev5 they are 18”x 7,5” and Et are 45 Will the fit ? And tires? 225?

I run a similar setup w/o any extra fender work.
18x9.5 +35 ESR06
18mm Spacer up Front -°2 camber
(18x9.5 +17)
15mm Spacer in Rear -°2 camber
(18x9.5 +20)
Federal 595 RS 235/45
​​​​​​
I ran this setup for about 6 months w/o any fender work whatsoever. I scraped a little bit when hitting bumps or when I corner real fast. I wasn't flush tho. The top of the tire was sitting even with the fender.
I didn't have to touch the fenders until I went flush. Now I have my fenders rolled, but decided to hold off on any aggressive pulling, & my car still sits flush with no scraping. My fender sits flush on the top of the wheel lip.
So you can definitely run a setup like mine w/o any fender work, and prolly an even more aggressive setup with fender work.

Hey Kim

No, the offset is way too deep. Our standard offset is +38 & these are +45

Better to stay within these parameters:
  • 18x9 +28 to +35
  • 18x9.5 +30 to +38

The offset is +38 on the 18x7,5” Enkie wheels

Are you sure you want 7.5" wheels? Your previous posts were noting 9.5" & 9"

But yes, a 18x7.5 +38 would certainly fit in the rear w/no work needed. The question is this wheel will more than likely need a front spacer

Pull the wheel off & the size will be stamped on the hub. Need to know what size youre running so you can make a wise choice in your next wheel
