Wheel Size Question

[Ke0]

I own a 06' M35X and was wondering if someone can tell me the widest i can go with the wheels?

[fooitm35x]

OEM rims are 18x8 with +47mm offsetOEM tires are 245-45-18.

Dial that info into wheel/tire calc and play around to see what works for you - http://www.bigcustomwheels.com/rt_specs.jsp

Okay....20x9.5 fit on the m35x without rubbing?

[Ke0]

Can someone help me. Well will at least tell me if 9.5 in the fronts will rub or not?

Um.. depend on your offset too... i am running 9.5 front and no rubbing

[Ke0]

the wheel size is 20x9.5 offset 35

the wheel size is 20x9.5 offset 35

Under normal circumstances it should not be a problem. Every wheel is constructed a little different. The biggest issue will be brake calipers. But with that offset I don't think it will be a problem at all.

The wheel will stick out slightly due to the width and offset. I'm running 9.5 inches wide in the front with a +43mm offset. It's pretty darn flush bud.

I would really consider this fact, road noise will go up by about 25-30% over a 8.5 inch wide wheel. If you can go 8.5 inches in the front with a +35mm offset that would be ideal.

If you do run that wheel be sure to get quieter tires.

Best of luck...

hey skim, by the pictures it shows that the rear sticks out of the wheel area, you said no rubbing but is that all the time over bumps or just cruising low speed flat ground?

I'm looking into getting 22x10 +40 offset, I don't want it sticking out of the sides

Skim - I love the look!! Do you have more pics? From what I'm reading around the boards, you should have poor ride quality and loud too. Is that the case? How are the JIC VIP's on comfort? From pics on JIC's website (http://jic-magic.com/ViewProduct1.aspx?ProductID=34), it looks like adjusting the comfort level is simple and can be done within minutes. However, adjusting the height seems like you have to get under the car. Do you have your ride set at one height, or do you change it?
