Whats up guys? Here's my situation. I'm about o purchase Works Cr-Kai, and i recenty purchased new tires a couple weeks ago, and now want to get new wheels. I need to know if my tires will fit a 18x8.5 +25 offset front, 18x9.5 + 20 offset rear.

I think the size on my tires is, front 225/45/18 rear 245/45/18.
I think those are the right sizes on everything. Z1 performance said that the +20 in the front was discontinued, but the +25 would be almost the same thing. Anyway, will those size wheels fit those tires? Thanks a lot.

Yes they will fit. They are not wide enough for my taste, but yes they will work.

For that setup the perfect option imo for you would be 245/40 and 275/40, but if you already have tires then you can use them.

Jwill

Okay, thanks. Well, will they have the flush look? And if they don't, how big of a spacer should i add for it to look better?

If the wheels are a +25 then you can run a 10mm or 15mm spacer. IMO i'd go with the 15 since the wheels are 8.5/9.5

Not even close, and big.

Well ****. Another question, what's the widest wheels I could run on those tires? :/

It sounds like you're not going to end up where you want to be. Best bet is to sell the tires and start over with a complete package.

Jwill

Well, damn. I guess thats what i gottta do. With a 20 offset in the back, will there be any rubbing?

Correct.

If you like the wheels, sell the tires. If you like the tires, don't buy the wheels. Those tires are for stock wheels.

Jwill

got it. Thanks guys. I really appreciate it. A dealer is gonna give me a price check on a wheel/tire package today on the correct tires. In the mean time, does anyone know somebody that wants some new tires?

Have you ever thought about running the 9.5 +15 all around? This would be more of the flush look you are looking for.

It is helpful if you put a subject in the subject line.

Jwill

With the tires i have on right now? Or new ones?

The 9.5's w/ +15 offset and a 275/40 is gonna get you what you are looking for.

Take the advice above and do wheels and tires.

It's 9.5+12not 15 and it stands an excellent chance of rubbing out back at std camber levels if lowered

my bad. I thought the cr's came in +15.

Jwill

Okay, well dang. A guy on here is selling his used and tires. I think thats my best bet. The sizes on the wheels are 18x8.5 +25 and 18X9.5 +20. and the tire sizes are 245/40/18 and 275/35/18. He also told me he had a 10mm spacer. How do you guys think this will look?

I have +20, 18x9.5 CR with 275/40/18
and I just installed 10mm spacer (so now is +10 offset), it rub but very little

And the front is +25, 18x8.5 with 245/40/18 (+20 one was discontinued)
Installed 20mm spacer (+5 offset now), no rubbing issue...

I am lowered, and std camber. hope this is help

will look lame, not tall enough of a rear tire. But 275/35-18 makes a reat front tire on a 9.5. You need 275/40 rears.
