Default Garson DR302 - Opinions Needed

Up for sale is a set of Garson DR302's locally. Great price, but curbed. gunna need to spend about $600 to get them fixed. Im not too worried about that.

What im worried about is fitment. Im not gunna be hellaflush or extremely low. Goal is for the fenders to be flush with the top of the tire or just a little tucked.

Here are the wheels, this pic is of the rear.



18x9 + 17
18x10 + 22

I used a offset calculator and found out these will poke out 26mm more in the front and 30mm more in the rear over my factory 03 Track wheels.

That should sit decently flush with the fender, no?

Another thing that was brought up to me was that the spokes would stick out too far and look silly... like the spokes arent sunken in enough...

thoughts?

With the stock track wheels i see people using 25mm front and 30mm rear spacers to make it sit a lot more aggressive...

If these wheels give me +26mm front and 30 rear... how would they not sit flush?

I will be the guy who isn't going to flame you. I had 18x9.5 +15 in the front on my old rims, and they poked out alittle, but yours are .5 inches less wide and a touch more conservative. The rears will fit great I have 18x10 +25 and they fit great, I am going to roll flat my fenders and fit a 295 in the rear, those rims will fit great, best of luck on the newish rims!

Also, for tire sizes, you can run a 245 or 255 up front and a 275 in the rear, not meaty, not stretched just right for what you want

Believe this will work. You will NOT be able to add a fat tire.

Use those setups and the offset calculator to figure out what you'll end up with. I prefer this calculator.

Tire size will or will not allow you to tuck the tire under the fender.

There is plenty of room to put a big tire in the rear, I have 18x10 +25 all around running 265/35/18 front and 275/40/18 rear, I plan on 275/35/18 front and 295/35/18 rear when I burn up these tires and I am here to tell you there is room

Does it come with center caps? They would look weird without them cause the double tapped/drilled lugs holes are ugly.

Yes they should be fine and I'm not sure how the spokes could stick out if they are inside the wheel well?
