Fitment question...about to buy.

[DJ_B_Easy]

OK so Ive read the fitment sticky, still not sure if this set-up will work. Im going to order these wheels/tires TODAY so I want to be sure I wont have issues.

Im running the Eibach drop on my '08 A/C.

Stock Wheels: 17" x 7", 45 offsetStock tires: 215/55/17

My new packageWheels: 19" x 8.5", 45 offset (same as stock)Tires: 245/40/19

Stock OD: 26.3"245/40 OD: 26.7"

I know Im within 3% of the stock size, do I need to worry about rubs with the slight increase in OD and width, and also with the Eibachs?

Any/all input from the experts is greatly appreciated.

Not sure if you're going to be satisfied with +45 offset.

Don't forget that even thought the offset is the same as stock, the increased width will make the wheels stick out farther (closer to the fender).

It won't even be close to flush though, if that's what you're looking for.

[DJ_B_Easy]

Yeah I am looking for flush, also aware that the width will only give me about .75" closer to the fender...however I fell in love with these wheels and they only come in 45 or 32 offset. Im 99% sure that 32 offset would be a disaster, I'll get spacers if I have to with 45. Either way, I already ordered them, keeping the make/model a secret because I think I may be one of the first if not the only Coupes with them...stay tuned. On special order 2-3 weeks.

Thanks for the input.

Should have asked for input earlier maybe?

I'm running 9.5 width with +35. It's flush.

Bunda4th is running 8.5 with effective +15 offset in the rear. That's flush.

The +45 won't be.

It will still look good though.

Grids are sweet wheels, hope they have the concave face.

Haha! Its funny you mention that because I actually did, a few times, didnt really get any useful info with other users set-ups, etc. Im totally new to this man, just reading and learning more and more every day.

What size tires are you running? Mind posting a pic up (edit: a little bit closer up than your sig.)? I think I can call Monday and have them switch it to +32.

Not familiar with Grids, but thats not what Im getting.

Sorry I try to frequent the wheel forum as much as I can... It's pretty empty most of the time unfortunately

I'm running 245/45/18 all the way around. The rear is stretched due the 9.5 width, front is pretty meaty. Here's closer pics:



Closest I have to a side shot:

That's what I get for replying to several threads in tabbed windows. I'm a tripper. Rota Grids are still cool though haha

OK so wait...are you running 18" x 8" wheels? If that is the case, was your comment about sitting flushed supposed to be for someone else? Still think I wont be flush with 19" x 8.5"?

Haha, this is crazy, I just saw the other thread you were replying to. I can see how you got mixed up.

[alphapig]

I'm running 18x8.5 +30 in the front.

18x9.5 +35 in the back.

19x8.5 +45 will not be flush.

and

All good, I'd like to see how they look as is and then if I need to I'll scoop up some 10mm spacers or something. I just cant wait to get them on, 3 weeks is too long to wait!

Again thanks for your help and opinion.

Rota Grids are definately the shiznit alpha . A lot of people hate them because there knock offs of the Te's but it doesnt really bother me especially if they have that perfect concaveness. Im actually looking for a set in 18s and getting rid of my nismos, but they are sooooooo hard to find in 18s
