Will these fit FD with Coilovers?

Proxy One · 08-13-2009, 11:22 AM

Im looking at a set of wheels for the FD and wondered about the offsets on these. Do you think they would fit? I have coilovers too so rubbing might be a bit less of an issue.

FRONTS are 18 x 8 +40 offset
REARS are 18 x 9.5 +38 offset

I have 18x9.5 +38 front and rear with GC coilovers (2.5" springs)

No issues there with 285/30/18 tires. The fenders needed to be rolled, but no problems inboard.

They will fit fine with a 275 or smaller in the rear.

Yeah thats what I was thinking, ill probably run a 275 anyhow.

jer,

I ran 10.5 +43 on stock rear... with 275/35s, 285/30s and even 305 (or was it 315)/30s. So you are ok

Front, I was able to fit 18x8 +30.. which were those forgelines.. But it rubbed when full turned with 245/40s. +40 might be ok.. but watch out for tall tires. I put 18x9s +50 with 255/30 or 35 18s in front and didn't have issues... or not as much as the 245/40s
