18 x 8.5 et 35

grn.eyed.bandit · 01-14-2009, 07:22 PM

hey guys,

sorry, i suck at the search thing, but i'm looking at buying a set of m5 replicas in 18x8.5 with a 35 offset all around.

anyone have pictures of a similar setup so i can see how well they fill out the wheel well?

thanks in advance.

The fronts will look fine but the rear's will look a bit sunken in due to it being non staggered. In general 9.5's in the rear require a 30-35mm offset to look "filled" in. A 5-10mm spacer in the rear will make it flush though.

thanks for the reply...

i was thinking of going wider...either 12 or 15mm spacers. would it cause any rubbing with a h&r sport drop? going to be running 225-40's all around.

You will be fine with that.

Agreed. If you do decide on going 15mm spacers and you are stretching 225's on the 9.5" you'll be totally fine.
