Should be in noob forum :)

But if its a 7.5 width, and stock offset is 55, you'd be safe to stick with anything from around 45 to 50. A tried and proven offset is +48. Anythign lower than 45 and you MAY have rubbing issues with lowering.

As for hosting pics, you have to host the pic online first, then hyperlink that pic from the online source, not from your HDD.

ok noob question again

any issues with lowering?

[Entity]

i would like to have a similar question answered

18x7.5 +43, will this protrude from the guards (it looks VERY ugly when it does)

p.s. this is for euro

p.p.s. what is the difference between +48 and +43?

+48 protrudes less by 5mm.

I have 19X8 48 Offset and it sitting a finger over the front and half on the rear tyre at the back and no rubbing or lipped gaurds. It has a vicious camber on the rear once lowered. Would post pics but haven't looked up how 2.

[Entity]

so 7.5 inches wide and 43 offset will come outside the guard?

[Lowenhart]

Nah shouldn't. I have 18x7.5 +42 and its pretty flush.

[Chris_F]

7.5" with a 43offset will be quite flush with the guard and should have minimal to no rubbing with a substantial drop.

I have 17x8" with a +42 offset and IMO this is the VERY limit of width and offset you should run on a euro if you plan to or have lowered the car. With a 2" drop on my car I have minimal rubbing but on large bumps and sharp hills I'll get the slightest rubbing sound at the front... you can run more aggressive widths and offsets if you're willing to sacrifice tyres by using a more aggressive camber.

the tyre with 8" and +42 is perfectly flush with the guard, if anything it proturdes 1-2mm with 0 degree camger

I'm finding out bout a camber kit for the front and hoping to set it at 1.5-2 degrees negative camber to eliminate rubbing completely.

but running camber in such a heavy car, the tyres gonna wear very quick

[Chris_F]

that's the price you pay for trying to run more aggressive widths and offsets on a lowered car. The euro comes standard with -1 degree camber at the rear but 0 camber at the front. I think adjusting to -1 to max -2 degree camber in the front shouldn't kill the tyres too quickly, but yes it'll obviously have an affect on tyre wear.

It looks heavy but it is surprisingly light compared to many other cars - eg the std weighs less than a Holden Astra convertible
