Depends on the offset and you may need spacers. 18" x 8" were tight to the rear suspension top arm on mine.

so you have 18x8? what do you mean by offset? tyre size? did you have your car lowered? if so did you change shocks or springs?

My car is severely low, but that only changes the position of the car relative to the ground, not to the suspension arm that I'm talking about - that stays constant. The only things that will alter the difference between the suspension pieces and the tyre is if you change the offset of the wheel, the width of the wheel and retain the same offset, both, or using a different width and/ or profile tyre.

There are some calculators on the web:
