My 03 DG on 18x9 et10 cobra r replicas with 245 40 on front and 295 35 on rear-



And with 18x10.5 et20 x4 with 245 40 and 285 30... right after mounting so sits a little lower. With the cap used for the chrome lip I am pretty sure they actually measure wider.
I am going to need a spacer in the rear to make it work in the rear. Front is past flush with a stretch and rear is flush but I have pulled fenders so I need a 1'' spacer. I didn't expect to stretch the 285's

I will post a side shot tomorrow-



It fits... this is in front 1/4'' clearance.

 

She sits pretty! I can't wait to see it with spacers ..that clearance would scare me lol

 

It took me 5 tire shops just to get them to install the wheels. I recently moved and I forgot how hard it is to get stuff done without connections.

I am going to be running a 3-5mm spacer in front and I just ordered a 1in. Should fit perfect. As of now nothing hits and I tested it.

 

I think the key is to get a 18" wheel where the face extends all the way to the wheel diameter. This give the illusion of a larger wheel. Or rather the lip or the inward curving spokes give the illusion of a smaller wheel.

The new XXR 530 looks to be promising 18in offering for the G, with pretty good fitments:
18x8.75+20mm and 18x9.75+20mm

Were it not for the taller sidewalls on the 18s, side-by-side when i had both my 19s (w/ lip) and 18s (w/o) off the car, it's hard to tell which is larger.

These are 18s.

 

What's you camber at here?

 

it's got nothing to do with camber, my xxr 521 wheels fit real close to the spindle knuckle too. the only way to fix the "issue" is to get spacers.

 

Front18x8 20mm offset 235x18x45
Rear 18x9.5 20mm offset 275x18x40
SPC front camber kit-front
SPC camber and toe bolts-rear

 

Actually, the more camber you run the further the top of the wheel will slant inward. Since the suspension components are primarily static (they don't move) the wheel if cambered enough will actually become closer to the suspension. If you're running a high offset, that can be an issue.

 

bump! want to see more 18s...
