18" Wheel & Tire Discussion Thread
Personally, I wouldn't go wider than 8.5" wheel and a lower offset than 38. That's just for the rear. The front, you can go up to a 20x10.5 +7. Especially if you have a BBK. If in doubt, just read the posted links.

Although I highly doubt you'll find any examples with those kinds of specs.

Have a question about a tire combo for my RPF1's. Ordered a staggered setup of 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 (both +15). While I know that most recommend 275/245 or 275/255 as the standard setup with a 275 being the minimum recommended for a 10.5, I have to consider a 265 setup due to the availability of tires for 275/40-18 (Hankook V12's and overpriced PS2's at 350+ each are the two main options).
Tire Setup: 265/40-18, 245/40-18
% Difference is 2.7 - 1.3% - 1.0% = 0.4% (from 2.7 stock)
Staggered Difference is 0.6" for the diameter
While I know that fitting won't be a problem (tire might be a slight stretch), just wondering if:
a) Will I have VDC issues? Stagger seems within limit (under 1, >0.5), and diameter within 3% of the stock 2.7
b) Would the setup be recommended, keeping in mind that the tires for the the 265/245 setup are MUCH better (by a lot) than the 275/245?
The tires Rim Width Range is 9-10.5", and the tire is known to run wide (Michelin Pilot Super Sport).
Thank you.

Thinking about buying this set of 18 Varrstoen's from this guy until he told me the tires are 19s...fronts are 245/30/19 while the rears are 295/30/19. I told him I'm positive the rims are 19s then. He said the guy he bought them from swears they're 18s. So I'll ask, can 19" tires fit on 18" rims? I told him to just use a tape measurer and get back to me.
