im gonna be buying a set of rims soon and i found a deal on some 18's. im wondering if they'll be flush with the wheel well because i hate the way the stock rims are set into the wheel well.

the new rims are:
18x8.5 front with 25mm offset

18x9.5 rear with 28mm offset

will they be flush?

they also come with 265/35/18 front and 295/35/18 rear. they say that it wont rub even with an eibach pro-kit. my car is tock height. do you think it will rub?

 

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

 

let me post a picture in a second:
18x8.5 +10 all around
245/40 front
255/45 rear ( slight rub)

so on a 18X9.5 a 25 mm offset will be close to flush as mine

im on eibach prokits also

 

It should be pretty flush but i wouldnt go so wide with the front tire. i would stick with a 245 or 255 imo.

 

No, I run 19x8.5+20 and 19x9.5+30 and they aren't flush, I'm gonna try a 10mm spacer up front w/ 245s and a 20mm spacer in the rear with rolling to fit my 285s in the rear
