Rim Size Offset question

I have OEM Rays 19's right now and am thinking about getting a set of wheels that are 18x10 all the way around with 25 offsets. How flush will they fit?

I wouldn't do it, 18X10s on the front are just way too big and you'd need to run at least 275s to fill the rim....

lol are you getting XXR 521's ?

I have those sizes all around







20mm or 25mm spacers will make you flush n give you some poke depending on tires ..

These are what i was looking at too. Not sure about running 10's in the fron though. seems so wide for front tires. How does it feel? Are you running a stretch? Looks nice on your car!

It's not too wide for the front .. some people go 9.5 in the front so whats an extra half inch ?? It turns pretty nice but it doesn't feel as easy if you are turning aggressively because of all the grip .. you get a resistance kind of a feel .. some people like it some people don't.

^ thanks.... Cant decide what to do here. I was thinking about putting a stretch on the front which i would think would alleviate a little of the width that actually has contact with the ground? yes? no?

Correct .. I'm running 245's on mine .. 275 is the max that would fit .. 245 isn't a huge stretch .. its pretty mild

Okay, thats what i thought. I have a 245 on my oem rays in the rear. so i guess it would be like putting my rears on the front. what series would you run on an 18", 40 or 45? Im on Tein S Techs

45 will look thick .. 40 will look like my front .. but if you choose to do 35 I would go with 255 width

I wouldn't worry about the width, plenty of people running 9.5" or larger in the fronts, I am running 9.5" although it's running a 235 hahah

I live upstate NY so im thinking at least a 40 because of potholes and ****.

The width concerened me because i like to take turns hard so i was wondering about rubbing issues

I'm dropped on Cobb Z springs but ill post another pic of the fitment up front .. I don't rub .. but if you have a brembo brake or a bbk.. don't get the 18x10 all around .. get the staggered set up or spacers
