Ive been searching for anyone using 18-8's and having trouble finding anything. Seem that most are using 18-7.5. If you have 18-8's could you please post a pic and the offset your using?

Thanks

 

i have 18x8 axis decades on 225/40-18 kumho ecstas. i think the offset is 32+ with a thinner disk face in the rear to give the staggered look. only issue is the front rubs when the road dips dramatically.

 

Thanks for the info! I Like ur tC BTW

 

What springs does that rub with?

I'm looking at getting some 18x8.5's in the New Year.

 

yamaha16bw - thanks!

Limey - i'm on tein basic coilovers. about a 1/4" from the lowest setting on all corners.

 

Nice setup.

 

How do you like the tien coilovers? I was hoping to upgrade when winter is over and i want to go coilovers for sure but ive never had them on any car before.

 

i love em. of course, they're my first set of coilovers. if i get a chance to ride in my friend's tC w/ tein SS's i'll post up again.

i've had it at 3 height settings so far. each time going lower. the ride got rougher with every change but it's still not that bad.

 

Hey I was wondering what you think of the ride with those 18's. I know that the coilover prolly and some stiffness but I only have trd springs and i was really wanted to go 18"-8" but i dont want anything more ruff then now. what do you think?

 

i won't lie. they'll make it roughER. but shouldn't make much off a difference. i may be wrong but i think the added harshness comes from the lower sidewalls and not exactly the rims. so the jump from 45 series (stock) to 40 (what i run) is not that drastic. i have a friend running 35 on his 18s and he said it's a lot more harsh.

 

18 x 8.5

 

^ Details !!!!

 

I'm not sure what the offset is, but they're Nitto NeoGen tires with Tein SS-P coilovers. I took it to a performance shop here to do the alignment and correct the negative camber, and they said they were able to 'stagger' the wheels a bit more, to give it a more aggressive stance (that pic above is actually before i had the alignment done), and correct the negative camber w/o having to use a camber kit.
