you'll need a lot of negative camber up front to combat the offset. rears are fine.

For an 18 9.5" ET35 up front - not really worried about outer clearance.
However for inner clearance will it NEED a spacer to clear the strut ?

as long as you're not using the shim kit and stay with 255's or less, you should be fine without a spacer.

my experience comes from a non-forum friend running 9.0" et40 with 265's which comes REALLY close to the strut tower. your setup would be 1mm closer to the strut.

I have a 9.5 +35 on the front and needed a spacer to clear the strut (I have coiloversuspension)

TexasZed4MC · 01-21-2013, 05:40 PM

Had a question, will 245/40/18 Michelin Pilot sport cups on 18x9.5 et35's fit under the fronts with regular suspension and the pins pulled? I am thinking yes?????

I need to ask a question about wheel fitment.

I have a chance for a set of track wheels for $300 for the set. They are coming off an 04 Roadster but are NOT the stock wheels. The size is the F=18/8.5 ET 38 and R=18/9.0 ET 38.

I am currently running somewhat stock suspension (Bilsten Dampers, stock springs) with stock wheels, tire size are F=235/R40 18 (-2.5' camber) and R=265/R35 18 (-2.0' camber) with a 10mm spacer. No rubbing.

I calculate that the new front wheels will will tighten up -8mm and the rears will stick out by +4mm.

I am not a wheel gruru so I am asking the question. Can anyone foresee any issues?

Hamoudie · 04-01-2013, 01:52 AM

Has anyone tried putting in the front 19 x 9 ? Would an offset around 38
work ? I just need to know if it would fit.. If it rubs I can live with it.

604skyline · 04-13-2013, 12:59 AM

looking for some help,

will these work or is the offset way too aggressive?

it is a VERY agressive setup, with camber plates proper alignment and a tire setup thats not too wide, it can work.

look at this Z

thanks for the reply, I am on stock suspension as of now, but am getting the ohlins group buy coilovers once they are available.

will they work on stock as is?

Nope, you wont clear front fenders I believe. I'm on stock suspension, with Turner camber washers/spacers and I barely clear running

18x9.5 +35 (w/5mm spacer so technically +30) (-2.5 camber with washers)
18x9.5 +35 (w/10mm spacer nso technically +25 (maxed out OEM -1.8 camber)

i2ichal2dZ4M · 04-14-2013, 02:55 PM

you may want to PM this memeber on how daily driving details. notice he was running 225 up front.

I was set on ordering 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 Apex ARC-8's, but the backs are not in stock. My tires in the meantime, are nearly gone.
Could I fit the planned 245/35-18 and 265/35-18 Super Sport rubber for the ARC-8's onto the stock wheels till the ARC-8's arrive?

245 on fronts is little too wide, rear is fine they will fit though front wont have full contact patch.

M Theory · 05-03-2013, 11:02 AM

Hey guys will I have any issues running 18x11 +45 in the rear? Based on the 10.5 +22 posts, looks like I'll be fine, fender wise. What I'm wondering though is if it will be rubbing on anything on the inside with that width and high offset. Thanks in advance!
