im getting 18 inch rims and i want to know if they fit.... im getting 18 x 7.5 with 215/35/18 and my car is lowered about 1.5"? will they fit okay thanks for all the help.. car is a lancer oz rally 02

 

you might rub

 

yeah i thought so to but i have the stock rims that are 195/65 and they rub i lil right now so i think i will be fine. thanks though.. a lil rub never hurt.

 

woah, are you sure you're only down 1.5"? which kit did you use? I'm down about the same and still on stock size tires, no rub atall

 

i bought it lowered from a guy.. it has shogun lowering springs on it...

 

yur screwed. The plastic firewall will need to be removed from your wheel wells. yur gonna wanna run with a 35 series tire, yur still gonna rub the fender outside. those 18's are gonna be too big. I got a 50 series tire on a 16 rim, the firewall needed to be cut so the rub would stop. i am lowered 1.8 all around.

 

We have several members in our club that have 18s and unless they absolutely slam the car (down more than 2") they don't have rubbing issues. Granted they have to take bumps slowly, but that's a given precaution.

 

I have 18's and I rarely rub. just had to get re-alligned after I put the 18's on.

 

Had you run a search (or even just stopped by the tires, WHEELS, brakes and suspension forum) you would have found this stickied thread...

And just like all of the other people who ask this question, you left out what is most likely the single most important spec in determining if those rims will fit...
What's the OFFSET of the rims? You want somewhere around a 42mm offset to avoid rubbing.

But yeah, plenty of people on here have lowered Lancers with 18s and 215/35/18 tires on them with little or no rubbing. It depends on the offset and the tires true width.

 

i finally got those rims and put them on.... i rarely run into rub at all only when turning with mild bumps but other than that rubbing is not a problem. thanks for all your help.
