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.

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

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?

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

**Crapdaz** · 23-09-2008 07:25 AM

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

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.
