Need help with offset and spacers

[ccptravis]

i'm trying to fit 18x9 +35 on all 4 corners. anybody have an idea on spacer sizes and do ya think i'm gonna need a roll? yes i'm running coilovers. My search came up with nothing because everybody talked about 7 inch wide wheels. everyone i know is running a wide body which doesnt do me any good. Thanks in advance

Use this for calculations and go measure and compare what you have now.

On the front it'll almost definately require a good size spacer to clear the coilovers. Will depend on the tires as well though. When I test fit 17x8 +35 on my coupe it was going to need 10mm or so with regular tires (225/235). I'd guess with 235/345 on the front you'll need 15-25mm spacer at least.

And yes you will have to have a roll and probably a pull on front and rear.

Thanks a million man thats a huge help. i'm going to stretch 225/35 on em. correct me if i'm wrong but stock offset is 45, right?

I'd always went with +40, but could be +45.

you should be able to clear everything just fine dude! I used to run 17x9 +15 up front without modding anything! The offsets you mentioned are pretty weak and you probably wont even have to roll the rears that much either! What wheels are they?

[ccptravis]

they're drifZ wheels. dude i called you like 10 million times man whats ever happened to that bumper support and cover you were gonna give me? i still need that. barry knows how to get in touch with me.

yea bro, I highly doubt you'll need any type of modification out in the back. in the front you might need like an 8mm slip on spacer (putting you're over all offset to +27), but I highly doubt you'll need a bolt on spacer, maybe a roll but thats it.

i'd like to thank everyone for their expertise and their help. you guys rock. wheels and spacers aren't my area of expertise. Thank you guys

I've got 18x8 +31 fronts and 18x9 +43 rears.

No rubbing at all.

for the record.. 18x9 +43 does not fit on the front w/out rubbing. Don't ask how I found that out. I'm going to guess that a 18x9 +35 would fit fine on my setup. I have KYB AGX suspension. What I'm not sure about is how your coilovers compare.. should be pretty similar.

I'm running 235/40/18 on the rears if you're interested.

the 40 series profile gives you a little more sidewall correct? your not running a stretched tire then? and you didnt have to flare?

I didn't have to touch the fenders at all.

The 235 is square on an 8" wheel and has a little stretch on a 9" wheel. I'm not sure what look I like better.

I bought mine used from a guy on the forums. He said they were all 18x8 wheels. The tires on the rears were completely shot, so he pulled them off and sent me bare rims for the rears. The fronts had good tread, so he left them on. So before I even got the wheels, I bought a set of the same tires as were on the fronts already (thinking they were all the same size wheels). When I got them, I had the new tires mounted on the wheels and went to put them on the car... It was then I found out that 18x9 + 43 doesn't fit without rubbing on the fronts because I tried to mount the rears on the fronts.

The result is that I have 235/40/18 tires on 8" wide wheels in the front, and the same tire size on 9" wide wheels in the back. I'm going to start a new trend!!!

Check out this thread that I went through a while back. It's pretty funny! Shows how much of a noob I am with wheels/tires as well.

LMAO that was good. atleast you got a great deal on a staggered set up. i bought mine off a friend who needed cash. one of em has a flat spotted tire from drifting, the other one is just shot. The rear tires were completely shot from drifting. but he was running 225/35 on all of em so thats what i'm gonna run. he's got a wide body on his car so his spacers are thick to fill the gap and clear his massive brakes. I'm running stock brakes and stock fenders without extended lugs and my stockers rub on my coilovers. since i already had that issue i was completely clueless to howa 9 inch wide wheel would fit.
