just roll the rear fenders and put on a 255/35/18 or 265/35/18 and you should be good to go

a 245/35/18 just won't do those rims justice

Looking to get some Luminous Yellow Gram Lights 57D for my IX RS...

Would 17x9 with +22 offset work? (rears would stick out?)

I assume the +38mm offset would be ideal...but curious if anyone has this setup...thanks!

It's amazing how many questions there are in this thread without any mention of TIRES.
Actually I think the +22 would be better. You may need to roll the rears depending on tires.

You're right...Very true...

Sorry, was just curious if the wheel itself would just be too funky...along with clearing the front Brembo's....

Rims and tire suggestions.

Currently my car is running on 18in Rota P45F rims. I would like to know first of all if i should keep these or switch to the stock 17in BBS rims. If I keep the Rota's what are the best tires to chose in the 150-200 price range per tire. I live in montana where it snows 6months out of the year so I want funtionality in snow as well.

Exclamation i need help with wheels!!!!

Ok guys i searched and i couldn't find anything. I have a set of 265-40-17 tires and i need a set of wheels to put them on. Im looking at some 17x9.5+32 or 17x9+25, i know the 9.5+32 will fit but here's the thing im on stock sturts with lowering spring so idk if the tire will clear the suspension?? and the 9+25 i have no idea if they will even fit with 265-40s. BTW my fenders r rolled and rear bolt is relocated . The wheels im looking at are wedsports tc105n.

Thanks

Bilstein/Swift and 18 X 9.5 +38 w/255/35/18

I plan to have a set of MR Bilstein's damping revalved to match the springs rates of the Swift Spec-R and was wondering if I will encounter any issues (i.e. tire rubbing the strut) if i were to mount 255/35/18 tires on 18 X 9.5 +38 (20 mm front spacers) Enkei RPF1 wheels? Thanks!
