[CL9] Low offset wheels

[RiceMeister]

go a lower offset in the front, 8.5 is an ok width, but you'd be better off going a lower offset if you want a bit more of an agressive look without really being very aggressive...if that makes sense?

As racerwannabe said above, +48 is pretty conservative, look for something in the mid 30's, like a +35 or +38, fitment will still be easy.

can anyone clarify whether or not +38 or lower can clear the turning circle without scrapping the wheels on suspension if your 8" or more in width?

i am running 9.5" +25 all round and my front doesn't rub anywhere (zero finger gap at front)
and the front only has a lip roll no pull.

It will not stick out. Maybe close to flush.

front will be quite close to flush, rears will be sunk depending on how low you go as the lower you are the more negative camber at the rear (unless you have a camber kit)

oh ok, would i need to get new tyres to fit 17x8.5 rims? im on the stock 17" tyres right now (im pretty sure they're 225/45R17)

you can run the same rubber, i think recommended rubber on 8.5 is something like a 235/45? running a 225 will give you a very mild stretch, barely noticeable, just make sure you get a wheel balance.

will 18x8.5 +35 18x9.5 +38 fit euro with no problems?

Guards rolled is needed. And maybe bumper tabs
might be a problem like mine. I'm running 18x9.5 +30 18x8.5 +30

Here is a picture of my rear. Running minus -4 camber. I'm still trying to stiffen my coilovers or getting thinner tyres.. like 225/40? instead of 235/40 to avoid the bumper tab.

you should understand that if you go such a high offset with wide wheels you will rub the inside of the wheel on the strut. you need around +30 or lower if you dont want to run spacers. 18x8.5 +35 18x9.5 +38 will fit on a euro, but you need guard roll all round, maybe a rear pull, and defiantly bumper tabs moved. remember if you are paying more then $500 for all that you are paying way too much.

sangyz if your running 9.5's you will 98% need the bumper tabs done.

also, you may want to invest in a front camber kit, cos otherwise the fronts wont tuck properly, if thats what your going for
