18x8.5 +35

So I have a set of 18x8.5 +35 and they hit the brembos so I have a 25mm spacers and they work but the tiers hit the side skirt so cant do that then i found some basic spacers and they come to measure 8mm and both of them together make 16mm spacers. Put on the wheels and they clear the brembos by maybe 1/2mm and they dont hit my side skirt.

So what I am asking is want to see what kinds of setups you guys are running with that size wheel and offset.. tires right now are 225/40 18 but new tires going on are going to be 255/35 18 wheels are nt03.

Yeah, that 25mm is a very large spacer & im not surprised they would cause an issue

Proper caliper clearance should be 3-4mm so be careful youre setup is not too close

Your tire choice of 255/35 is certainly OK. Rear clearance will be OK w/that +35 offset coupled w/the 8.5" width

Yeah, 1-2mm could be an issue if that wheel flexes hard under load. You can certainly try & run it & check for any rubbage. It might be OK
