i just got a set of xxr 962's,18x8.5 & 18x9.5, no tires yet but i will be going with 225/40/18 F & 245/40/18 R. i have bc coilovers ordered. the rest of the suspension is stock. i dont know if it matters but i have "KVR J-hooked Performance rotors"

iv searched all the topics i could find but there was nothing for my setup. i read a topic that had the same size wheels, but didnt say what suspension setup he had, he was using 8mm and 10mm spacers.

can someone shed some light for me? i don't wanna order the wrong ones.

You won't need spacers for that. But your tires are a little too tall...

I never recommend 962's... or any wheel that will require spacers to fit properly. Buying spacers defeats the purpose of buying cheap wheels.

All these are available in 4x114.3 and are pretty cheap. If you're still four lug, pick something off this list:

5Zigen FN01RC Available in: 17x9+20

Rota P45R Avilable in: Too many to list in both 17's and 18's!

Rota Grid Available in: 18x9.5+15

Rota RB Available in: 17x9-13 and 17x9.5-19

XXR 006 Available in: 17x9+20

Falken Hanabi Available in: 17x9+20

Axis OG Banzai Available in: 17x9+20

Motegi Touge Available in: 17x9+24, 18x9+12 and 18x10+30
