18x9 +35 fits with no drama on 255/35 rubber

Anything lower than +30 on an 18x9 requires rolling/pulling in the back. Anything lower than +25 requires creative bodywork and sledgehammers in your wheel wells.

NO, not even close, +35 sits way to far inside. I have tried the 18x8.75 +35 and you will need 1.5" spacers to clear the brakes. These are the XXR 530 18x8.75 +20 and that is a perfect fit with 0.1" clearance with the brakes, no spacers

I was talking about TE37s, not XXRs. I have no idea what pad height XXR wheels have. Though I find it hard to believe you need a 1.5" spacer, that would be ridiculous.

this page has the same XXR 530 as mine but in 18x9.75 +20 on 255/40 no spacers,
obvisouly they will need a bit more rolling of the rear fender depending on camber and ride hight than the 18x8.75

Enkei Lusso

I've had my eye on the Enkei Lusso wheel 18x9 +40 offset. I like the look for some reason.

What do you guys think about it? will it stick out too far??

+40 will likely have inboard clearance issues. Some of the track guys I know run NT03 in +40, but runs 25mm spacers in front, and some massaging of the fender well. Rears will fit good though, with minor fender rolling

I found a guy selling them with 245/40r18 practically brand new. So its - 18x9 +40 w/ 2in lip. I would think +40 would only have outer clearance issues? please correcxt me if im wrong or if im looking at it the wrong way. I'm terrible with offsets and fitment. I dont want them to stick out that far



would they clear stock suspension w/ tein springs?

The evo 8 offset is +38 17x8

18 x 9.5 +20 (thinking this one isnt possible...?)

Will it fit and what tire options will i have? 235/40? 245/40 with out scrubbing? sitting legal height which is around 4" clearance from lowest part of car (front pipe).
