will these fit?

[hooyn]

i put a deposit on a set of work xd9's yesterday

18 x 8.0. +45

car is lowered with about 1 finger gap.

now my questions is... will i encounter any troubles with scrubbing with +45 offset?

[akina]

nope, ur fine

mate,

the wheel offset and width is suitable.

what are you lowered on?
if you are currently running 16"/17" stockies with 1 finger gap then putting on 18" will definitely scrub and more.

best method if you have adjustable height is to raise car then drop it back down ontop of the wheels.

just my opinion as you havent told us any details.

[felixd]

wad if u go for the lowest profile tires ? will it still rub cuz this is the size this is the setting dat i want to put on my car :D

im currently on 18x8.5 but i got them with the car and dont know what offset they are. lowered with about 1 finger gap now that the tires are almost gone but i did feel some scrubbing when i was up in the mountains. driving normal there was no scrubbing.

tein SS so i can raise it aswell.
just want to make sure with +45 and 8.0" width . i guess im alright :)

[Crapdaz]

hmmm.... whats the estimate distance from the edge of the rim to the tyre surface?
do your tyres look like rubber bands?

if it's like about +/-100mm (my estimation) it should be about profile 40.

If you are running 18x8.5 now, then 18x8 would fit.
Offset anythign between +42-55.

What tyre size are you running?

[EURON8R]

sorry to bring up an old thread, but are 18x9 +45 too wide? would these scrub?

[Crapdaz]

most likely if your running them on the front, you will prob need to roll/cut your guards at the front

the rear should be fine

[Suntzu]

Ive been on +45 for 3 years. I have 18x7 though. No issues.

I dont personally understand the need for 8 inch wide tyres. It adds nothing to performance, in fact makes the car slower and heavier. The car doesn't need 8 inch for handling purposes either.

[Crapdaz]

would produce more tramlining as there is more contact on the road.

i am experiencing tramlining with my 18x7.5 running 225/40/18

Softy! :p I set my alignment up to promote tramlining. hahahaha :thumbsup:

[Crapdaz]

lol, yeh but it gets alot of feedback on the steering.

so my arm gets tired. <--puahahah

in a way feels like a race car.

the wider the tyre the larger the contact patch with the road surface... that will in turn increase traction, meaning harder braking, acceleration and cornering without breaking traction... so there is performance gain to be had... however, they are heavier, so theyll prob slow you down lol...

my main issue is people getting 8 or 9 inch rims, but putting on 225/235 tyres? wtf? use 7 or 7.5 inch and chuck on 225/235 lol


so my arm gets tired. <--puahahah

enough said... :p

[Suntzu]

Hmm. Its too one dimensional to say increasing the size of the tire will improve handling.

Why not then therefore stop at 8 inchs and go to say 10 inch tyres. It depends on the weight, function and type of vehicle and its intended purpose.

For example in my rotax sprint kart theres an optimal tyre width for handling. Going wider will not help but hinder the kart.

For street use 7 inches in enough. Thats the point im making. i know a lot of you like the look of wider tyres. Im a function over looks kind of guy. cheers

Yeah i agree,225/4517s i think are the best ride/handling/weight tyre rim size for the Euro.

what size profile tyres are you running?
40 or 45 ? 45 gives a greater % to the mileage being out than 40.

But i agree 225/40/18 or 225/45/17 are the best for comfort and then adjust by tyre pressure then.

[hooyn]

it looks awesome lol. :D

[doosra]

Would 19x9 +45 fit on a euro.. ? my car is lowered and the rear panel sits past my tyre..

[Crapdaz]

are you lowered on adjustable coilovers or fixed spring + shock?

if your fixed than most likely your not able to fit and even so read below:

as i said before 9 would be too wide for the front, even 8.5 wheel get scrubbing but not as much.

you will need to roll your guards and however you still might get scrubbing on the suspension assembly when in full lock.

[doosra]

i'm on coilovers.. too much hassle if u ask me..

If i were to get 19" rims.. what would be the best dimensions.. ? cause most 19's are at least 8.5 wide.. and what would be the offset.. it seems quite difficult to find 19" wheels that would fit perfectly on a euro without having a negative camber <-- is this correct.. i'm a bit of a novice so correct me if i'm wrong..

There are 19x8.5 +38 5x114.3 - i'm assuming these will protrude too much as well as my car is lowered and this would be wrong offset.. ?

[Crapdaz]

well you'll need to raise the car first before you fit the wheels. <--- not recommended to just try and chuck on wheels and hope they'll fit.

From what i've heard people have had to chop the front guards cause they are massive but i think the rear is fine without.
+38 a tad under the required offset, best to have a bit of negative camber on the rear to help with handling.

Try Pm-ing kitbkk and Temptn they will be able to give you more details on it as they have 19"/20"

[doosra]

i've got 225/35/18's wrapped around 18 x 7.5 wheels... someone told me that my speedo would be incorrect as with a 35 profile, i should have a different width..

can someone confirm.. ?

[Crapdaz]

not width, profile makes the diameter of the wheel larger/smaller. Only thing width affects is that it can scrub but mainly the front will.

The closest for 18 would be profile 40 which would give it an 0.844&#37;(from stock 16") slower speed which is equivalent to 1km.

Additionally, it would be slightly different if you had 17", go to www.1010tires.com (http://www.1010tires.com) and check out the wheel or tyre calculator and go figure it's very helpful.

still doesn't answer my question.... is 225/35/18 a legal size for the euro.. it's -2.7% from stock... when i went to ozzy tyres, they said something about it needs be within a certain percentage and not the 2" that everyone thinks....

Its not a certain percentage either. Its +/-15mm to stock overall diameter. This is for NSW btw.

Given urs is a 03-04, stock tires are 205/55/16? and u want to compare that to 225/35/18.

Using http://www.1010tires.com/'s tyre calculator this is the result I got for you.

Stock tires = 631.69mm overall diameter
New tires = 614.68mm overall diameter

631.69mm-614.68mm = 17.01mm!

Looks like you are illegal by 2.01mm

Note, that the width of your rim would also affect the overall diameter but it was not an option at that site. However, the difference is minimal.

As Crapdaz has mentioned, 40 profile would be the most suitable. Not 35.

[Crapdaz]

reason being why i said 40 is that i am running that rather than 35.

[racerwannabe]

i'm running 18x8 rims with +48 offset. tyres are 225/40 which i've checked to ensure that is appropriate before fitting. also i think most people runing 18s are using this size tyre.

[doosra]

yeah, i was previously on 40 profile, however decided to jump to 35 profile.. it's running fine so far.. i think if i need to claim anything on insurance, i'll just change my wheels to my old ones.

[d_evilz]

is anyone running 18x8 with +35 offset?
any problems?

[racerwannabe]

You need to check out the low offset wheel thread. But yeah that width and offset is fine.

[shmivic]

18x8.5+35 front and rear on mine - no finger gap - 225/40 KU36's - natural camber

i cant make it scrub.

[ck.kyo]

Is that with no fender work?

[shmivic]

yep - guards are as honda made them.
