Need advice on offset
Ok guys another will this rub thread
.
I have a brand new set of volk gt-n's with Kumho ASX tires sitting in my garage right now. The tire sizes are 245/40/18 and 275/35/18. Now the problem is the rears are 18x10 with a offsett of 18mm so i am not sure i can get away w/ this with out rubbing. I have searched this topic but it seems everyone i have seen running this setup is running a 285 width tire. Also i am going to be running Tanabe gf210 springs.
I know i can roll the fenders but since i just bought this car a week ago and would like to avoid messing the car up. So can i run these wheels in the rear w/ tanabe springs with out rolling the fenders or using a crazy a$$ negative camber.
Thanks
Chris

You might consider getting 275.

They already have 275's on them

Its cool. So do you think that wheel/tire setup will clear with the tanabe springs?

Eh, probably will clear, but make sure you're at least sort of OK with rolling the fenders.
Here's what you should do:
google for "wheel offset calculator"
use wheel offset calculator and enter these specs : width 10.5" +23 offset
now compare to your 10" wheel with +18 . It will say the new wheel retracts in by 1mm.
Mine just barely rubbed (hotchkis springs), with a 285 tire. So with a skinnier tire, and 1mm more clearance, I think you should be fine. That is my rationale, take it or leave it.

thanks for the advice. I guess i am just going to get the springs and then slap everything on and see what happens. Worst case i will have to roll my fenders which i have had done before so it really isn't THAT big of a deal.
