Hey guys
I've got a CL9 Euro and I'm looking to get some 18 inch rims. The guy at the shop told me that the widest I can go is 18x8, but I'm sure I've see ppl have 18x9 before. My question is, what is the maximum size width? Did the guy have to modify his guards to fit 18x9? would 18x8.5 also fit? What's involved it widening the guards?
Sorry for all the noob questions...:D
im running 9's on the rears and 8's on the front but the 9's have a pretty high offest +67 with an 8mm spacer might up it to an 15mm one soon tho =P no mods to guards for me tho
to widen the guards, you could roll the lip so that flap on the inside is flat allowing a little bit more clearance
or you could flare the guards giving more clearance too
+67???
anyway go to http://www.rimtuck.com/
hope it helps :)
you can fit almost anything dude.. just depends on how much money you got.. i spend $2700 (wheels + tyres + rays lugs + fender work) to get 18x9.5 +25 all round to fit. Dont listen to the tyre shops. they know jack shit.Quote:

don't bother listening to tyre shops about what wheels are correct for your car because no doubt they'll reccomend some 18x7.5 or 18x8.
by all means you don't have to go ridiculous fitment like 9.5 or 10, most of the time stupid fitment is done by all the hellaflush douches.....like Sem and myself shortly :wave: and isn't the most practical.
....but you can definitely fit 9's all round with a mid +30ish offset no worries, with the correct tyres for enough clearance you'll be fine. 18x9 on a euro is cake. 225/40 for the tyres is fine too.
good luck!
haha yea... it may be just a teensy bit too much ahaha... but yea came off my mates s2000... but they are nice rims so im not complaining hahaQuote:

epic high offset...
running mine in 8.5 all round with +40 offset
haha yea... doesnt for some reason.. quite the odd offsetQuote:

Well, you should consider the law as well because if you have an accident and your car is out of the maximum range allowed by the law, your insurance doesn't pay out and if you live in a state where you can be sued for injuries to third parties (ie most OZ states), then you can say goodbye to the rest of your working life which you'll spend paying off the legal debts.Quote:

lolz, buck up :P
thanks for all ur input guys!
I'm thinking about these rims. Has anybody seen something like this on a Euro before?

so 9" in the back fits straight on with no mods? The tyre shop told me 8" is prolly the max... I would really love 9's with no modsQuote:

with a 9" all you'll have to do is roll the rear guards and relocate bumper tabs which is really easy and not a biggie at all.
be a wacko do 18x10 +10 at the rear with 18x9.5+ 12:)
haha you couldnt fit 9.5+12 without air and you can't drive it so don't tempt him to go more aggressive lolol
air is always the way to go :)
theres always a way though just need to use the correct size tires :)
Im running 20x8, fit well!!http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._2360098_n.jpg
you should have gone 215's would have fit in the end, plus some guard work :)Quote:

How much work would 18X9+30 fronts 18X10+25 rears need?
to run the fronts all you will need is the lip folded back and the liner cut/removed. For the rears, you will need both those things + a light to medium pull, also you may need a spacer because the inside of the wheel may rub on your strut. on my rear (9.5 +25) i have about 10-15mm clearance. it will be .5inch less for you.. which means you will have 1.2 approx less space then me. Camber will also play a role for your rear clearance, the more negative camber you have the less space there will be. And you will have to run atleast 225/40/18 otherwise your tyres prolly wont fit, unless you will be sitting 10ft in the air.Quote:
