That looks great man! Can't go wrong with the Goldlines. That's what I run. I also run 18's with a Nitto 35 and I just might go with 40's next time too. My 35's aren't that bad but I'd like to try out the 40's next time. Plus I've heard good things about Hankook's. Great looking tire for a good price.

 

ohh man your a godsend... thats the exact combo im looking for.... I have 18"s with 215/40 and im lovin the ride. I haven't decided on what springs to get but when i saw yours I think im going with goldlines.... Hey could you give us info on the offset? Just want to make sure i don't have any rubbing issues.....

Sorry for the delay-just dug the boxes back out - it is a 18x7.5 wheel with a 42 offset.

 

looks good, I like it. Bill

 

Very nice combination! I like it!

 

Thanks Bill- I appreciate you hooking me up with Robear, that got the Goldlines shipped out 2 day. I really appreciate all the help from you and Randode.

 

I wasnt trying to be a smart ___ , I had that size wheel tire combo on my car and hated it was all. sorry . chill dude , sorry if i came across wrong.

 

Looks awesome!
I love the Hot Lava color!

 

Needs onetongarage shims.

 

Why do I need these shims? Please explain or don't bother posting.

 

Matt, I Love the look of your ride. Just ordered my new shoes, 18 x 7.5 Konig Unknowns with 215/40/18's from www.wheelsdirectonline.com I'm pretty sure the salesguy mentioned 45 offset, is this correct? Or do i need to change it to a 42 offset? I am also doing the GoldLine drop and was wondering if you know if i will have rubbing issues with the 45 offset. Thx, any info would be greatly appreciated

I honestly don't know if that offset will case you any problems or not. I wish I could offer some advice, but I just don't know. Anybody else run this offset in a 18x7.5?

 

i think you are fine, im running 42 offset with no problems, whats 3 millimeters difference ? ( could make a diff, but not likely)

 

I was wondering this guy at my work got some 18 inch rims with 40 sereies tires but his rubs all the time when he turns does yours do that. Also I had 40 series tire's on my RL they rode pretty good. I got 30 series on my box right now with the Goldline spring's and it ride's pretty good also. I guess the whole "how my car rides with 40-30 series is just a matter of opinion". They are both cool to me. But by the way nice BOX.

 

I have not had anything rub since I pt them on. It has been 3 weeks and about 2000 miles and no problems. Thanks for the kind words.

 

Can somenone please answer this question. Im getting a 18 x 7.5 with a 45 offset. It appears a majority are running a 42 offset on the 18 x 7.5. My question is this, does the 45 offset bring the rim out towards the outside fender? Or does it bring it closer to the inside of the fender. If it brings it to the outer edge of the fender, meaning a more flush experience, it appears that i wont need to use a shim or spacer, is this correct? Thx

 

i like it...

 

the lower the offset the further out

the higher the offset - the more it will stick in


im running the EXACT combo .. or will be tommorow when i put my wheels on

you need to run the OTG shim spacers in the rear .. a 45 offset WILL NOT WORK on a 18x7.5 rim without rubbing issues .. after the OTG shim spacer.. ure wheels will be a 35 offset in the rear

as for the fronts... from my readings .. it dosent appear that you need to do anything for the fronts... there should be no rubbing issues .. but if for some reason you do .. just get a 5mm spacer

i decided as well to go with a 215 40 for more tire ... i work in boston and the roads are hell here ...

im running FF7's gloss black/ pol lip with 215 40 18 gforce kdw2's ... and im dropped on goldlines with the OTG shim spacer in the rear. Once i put the wheels on tommorow ill post back if i am seeing any rubbing issues

 

Thx Soon2BxB, I appreciate the info. Update me when you get them mounted. Post some pics too please.
