Default will these wheels fit my stock box

I want to get the Konig Unknow wheels in 18's.

WHEEL: 18x7.5
TIRE: 215/40/18

Do you guys think these will work on a stock box?

As long as the offset is +42 or less. Meaning +40 or +38, etc.......................

I do believe the offset is the same on the 18's as the 17's; I've seen one RS2 member with the 17's on his ride. If you get 18's, i'd suggest going with 215/35-18's as opposed to the 40's. The 35's are the recommended size for 18's, plus the 35's are smaller than the 40's and make the 18's look bigger than they would sittin on 40's.


On a side note, i LOVE the Unknowns!!! They are the only other rims i would have gone with other than my Arceo's.

Post some pics up if you decide to go with these.

Oh, but if you wanted to run 40's for comfort then i would think you might have a tiny big of scrub when turning sharp.


My 35's are a bit rough over bumpy roads, but they're so tiny! That's why i love em'

The Unknown is a good looking wheel. Cisco is running them on his and it's sweet lookin' (his are 17" though):


The 215/40R18s will work, but clearance is REALLY close. Another of our club members (Princess) is running them without problems on her summer wheels (no drop on her box so I don't know if that will change things):


Personally, I like the look of the 215/35R18s. I've had 12000 trouble free miles with them on my TRD 18s you can see my car right next to Princess' car here:

You know what? I'm looking at Cisco's rims and thinking they might just be 18s. I'll have to ask him. I can't hunt that info down anywhere. Sorry, I'm a moron sometimes. I'll get back to you on this one. All the other info is valid though and the pics are pretty so I'll leave 'em.

Okay, Cisco's rims:


are 18". He's running 215/35ZR18 tires with the TRD springs (about a 1" drop) and has had no problems.

Sorry for the earlier confusion.

stick with 215/35/18 - that keeps the same height as the stock tires.

also check out edgeracing.com - they have the best prices! I paid $115 (shipping included) for Falken ziex 512's- LOVE THEM!
