hey im looking into buying a set of 18x10 +25 offset, i was wondering if that would clear everything from brakes to fenders without modifying anything? also what size tires would you recommend for clearance?
car is lowered on springs NOT coilovers

 

You will need to roll your fenders all around and relocate your two rear bumper tabs more than likely. Onboard clearance should be fine, maybe a small 5-8 mm spacer up front since you're still on the stock shocks.

 

damn i was hoping to get away without modding my fenders :/ id go with a 8.5 but the rims i want wont have that deep lip like the 10 would have. how do i achieve my goal without fender rolling?

 

A 9.5" wheel with an offset around 35 is about the biggest you can go without having to modify but tire size plays a big role too. For instance I've run a 255 and 265 on the same rim, with the 255 I had no rubbing issues at all, with the 265 I had to completely roll the fenders to avoid rubbing. If you're looking for a big lip its going to be tough because the brembo calipers require a lot or room, you can get away with it in the back but not up front.

 

so possibly with a 18x9 or 18x9.5 you think i can clear without any fender rolling? and clear brembos

 

Yes. You just need to understand that caliper clearance will differ from different wheel designs. Take two identical diameter, width, and offset wheels, let's say 18x9 +35 for arguments sake, except one has a "flat" spoke design while the other has a more conical or convex design. The wheel with the flat design will have less calipers clearance due to the physical limitations of the spokes. With a conical or convex design, the wheel spokes can be clearance much better.

 

let me clarify then, im looking for bbs lemans reps and i want somewhat of a deepdish bc i hate the flat look. so whats the widest i can run without getting into any body or suspension or caliper modifications

 

9" to be safe. Stick to a +30-35 offset and run a 245 tire.

 

**** dude. Does NO ONE search anymore?
