Wheel Offset / PCD question

[Norto]

Hey All,

I did a search with no luck..

Im wondering if 18x8 wheels with an offset of +30 will fit on a CL9 Euro..? im not sure if that offset is too high or low?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks

Yes it will fit,
Yes you will most likely get defected cause it sticks out too far.

Offset is too low. Unless you are willing to mold wide fenders in.
Most i'd go is +38.

Due to it being low offset will increase wear on the axle driveshaft and hub etc as the weight is outter.

Your topic is not about PCD e.g 5x114.3 (114.3 is the pcd)

Thanks Crapdaz, I forgot to include the PCD which I was planning on doing and it was the factory PCD of 5x114.3

Thats interesting with the wear on the mechanicals which doesnt sound too good.

I'll keep looking for other rims I think

It's just my opinion but ppl do what they like or what looks good.

Goodluck what wheels were they? Anything lower in the 30's would preferably be like a RWD wheel offset category.

As most RWD or AWD use +38 as a stock offset and thats really close to caliper clearance.

Thats cool, my car is lowered and they probably wouldnt clear the gaurds anyway, i like the flush look but it wouldnt be possible with that offset and the car being low even though i have heavy camber atm.

They're a RWD style wheel which is probably where I went wrong in the first place, im not up with the offset side of things.. (I wont say what wheels they are as im sure the flame throwers will come out from others if i do lol)
