hey guys, i really need to know if this setup will fit.
18 x 8.5 offset of 30.
i'm on s techs so i pretty sure i'll have rubbing issues.
need to know cuz i might pick up rims on tuesday from someone.
thanks.

 

+30 is to much of an offset for an 8.5 wide wheel. If you want to run an 8.5 you need to stay between +40 and +48 offset.

 

Or stretch your tires

 

lol dont listen to them they havent ran them...

I had the axis reverb 18x8..5 35 offset it will be pretty close

 

werd, i run 19x8.5 with a 35mm offset on tein coilovers ALL the way down.

 

What about 18x9.5 with a 40 offset? rear only on H-Techs

 

These are some of those question only a very few people can answer. Alot of people see the "it'll rub" posts and eveyone jumps on the bandwagon although they don't know for sure. I test fitted an 18x7.5 rim with a 42 offset with 15mm spacers and 225/40 tires. Taking in consideration of the spacers, it was a 27mm offset wheel on S-techs with 225/40 tires and did not rub at all.

27!! Lets see someone beat that

 

using the rim+tire calculator here:

http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp


Going from a 215/45-17 on a 17x7 ET 45 rim to a 225/40-18 on a 18x8.5 ET 30 wheel these are the following size differences:


-Backspacing: 4mm (0.2") Deeper than stock
-Tire diameter: 11mm (1.8%) larger than stock
-Fender Clearance: 20mm (0.8") farther than stock


Also, i use to run 19x8" rims with 35 offset on 225/35-19 size tires. There was still considerable space between tire and fender:







Still a hard one to say however. Take those dimensions and do some measuring.

 

yea seems everyones on a band wagon here... I mean if you dont have experincec with it why post...

But seriously im with the other guy.... 18x8.5 dropped all the way in front and dropped about 2.5 in rear....

Driver sisde rubbed a bit under hard agresive driving.. ( really hard)

Other then that no big deal

 

Front: 18x8.5, et30
Rears: 18x9, et24 + 5mm spacer = et19
Tires: 225/40/18 all around
Drop: 2" on Tein coilovers (1 finger gap all around)

the rear fenders flare out a couple mm's because of aggressive fender rolling.

 

/\/\ NICE!

Roll the fronts?

 

Very nice!

 

thnx.
the front dont need to be rolled. toyota did us a favor by having the front fender lip bent up from the factory.

 

HKSpeed that looks sweet man, I am thinking or rolling the fenders too, do you think I will have to do that if I get 18x9 TORK MATRIX RIMS 265/35/18 would i have to roll my rear fenders?

 

depends on the offset. i've seen plenty of people put 18x9 in the rear without rolling fenders. i think they had a 40 offset. you'll rub like crazy on 265's. you need 225 or 235.

 

Oh I was jus wondering because I whent here and its filtered for a scion tc. But said that with those tires it will rub, but those are the tires that they come with...http://www.wheelsnext.com/default.cf...lor=HYPERBLACK
