18X8 with 225/40/18 +45

Guys

Just a quick one!!, To be specfic

I have +45 offset 18x8 wheels for my euro. looking at running 225/40/18???
Seems to to best match to oem tyre 225/45/17 in terms of diameter and width.

Im about to lower the car 30-35mm also and i just want to be sure it will be fine in terms of no rubbing on the gaurds etc.

Have read +45 and above is the way to go but just trying to confirm with tyre size and the lowering im about to use.

Thanks guys appreciate any feedback.

hey mate, it should be fine. My friend's euro just bought 225/40/18 on 18x8.5 +46 wheels and the car is pretty low(illegal height)...... but still no rubbing or what so ever. Hope this help

wont rub fo sho!! do it!!

im running 225/40/18 with 18x8.5 +45
lowered to about zero gap dunno how much i lowered exactly, but i rolled my front guards but not the rear.
but -35mm wont rub i think. but once u lower about -50mm+, roll the guards.

thank guys!! From your reply's should be all good:thumbsup:

Cheers

Thanks mate, Very nice euro !!!!:thumbsup:

Just to be curious how much have you lowered your euro???

Thanks

Nice wheels! Where and how much did you get them from??

wheels are work xd9 i saw a set of 17"" in sales section for 1300, hey is there a handling benefit to having wider wheels?

yeah i was thinking the same, should of gone for 8.5

yea 8.5 makes it much more mean from the back hehe
much more agressive look :thumbsup:

work wheels are a bit heavy arent they?

for a set of 17" your looking about 10kg?

correct me if i am wrong please.

if you want light wheels, go volk racing, ce28n is the lightest I think of all the other volk racing model.
