I'm looking to order a wheel/tire package with 18" ADR M-Sport wheels in Hypersilver w/ Hankook Ventus tires from wheelsnext. Wheels are 18x8.5 front, 35mm offset and 18x9.5 rear, 35 mm offset. Tires are 245/40/R18 front and 275/35/R18 rear. Price is $1499 including shipping. Is this the correct size rear tire? I have read some people have a 40 rear tire, what should I get? Has anyone ordered from wheelsnext, if so, your thoughts on their service?

As far as tire sizes go, look up the tire size calculator, and you decide if you want an exact match or if you want to go lightly smaller or larger diamater. I have 285/35 and that looks good to me, so I dont know what the 275/35 would look like. Not much help here, but please listen when I tell you DO NOT do business with these people.

I HIGHLY suggest you find a reputable vendor that could get you those, and you not do business with these people.

sorry...can't help you with finding another place to order them from, but I have the exact setup you are looking at buying but I'm running 40 series tires all around. it doesn't look too tucked to me, although I only have a slight drop. I went with 40 series tires b/c I wanted a larger sidewall (I've run 35 series tires on other car/rims and I ended up with some curb rash and dings on the rims). also I wanted to fill out that large wheel well space as I've seen some folks running 18" rims w/35 series tires and they don't look right to me...idunno. but heres a pic of my setup. good luck!

no prob...also if you get a chance you might want to change out your pads to something low dust like hawk hps and also put a good wheel protectant like wheel wax on the face and interior of your rims prior to mounting them. spoke rims are kind of a b!tch to clean, especially w/ all the brake dust that comes off the front stock pads. oh and one more tip, get a decent set of lugs and locks that utilize a smaller diameter (maybe some spline type). the stock lugs will fit, but you'll probably end up scratching up the mounting holes on your rims (even if you wrap your lug wrench w/eletrical tape) and messing up the finish. good luck!

Oh, wheelsnext also said it would be $200 extra to have 40 series tires in the rear. Not ordering from them but I need to find a place to order these wheels.

ADR M-Sport Discountinued?
AndyS, I've been looking for the same rims setup for few weeks now and it seems that ADR discountinued the M-sport. I called lots of shops (including wheel next) and nobody had the 18*9.5!
Let me know if you have any luck finding those.

I wish I had read this earlier. I'm having hard time with Wheelsnext.com.
It took 23 days to receive my wheels and wrong sized tires. It's going to take at least ten days more to send them back and receive right ones.
Also, there were hidden charges. I ended up paying $110 more.
