18" x 8.5" rim 35 offset, with a 225/40/18 tyre will fit on a lowered car with no problems.

if the camber fix/mod is done, the rear guards need to be rolled,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

17" x 7" rim 40 offset, with a 215/40/17 will fit with no issues at all.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

18" x 8" rim 38 offset, with a 225/40/18 tyre will fit on a lowered car with no problems.

if the camber fix/mod is done, the rear guards need to be rolled,

I was going to make a thread like this, but the gayest in the village beat me to it!

Just for reference, the stock rims are:

BBS and 5 spoke Prefacelift = 16x6", 46mm offset
Twin 5 spoke Facelift = 16x6.5", 38mm offset

EVO 5/6 = 17x7.5", 38mm offset
EVO7/8/9 = 17x8", 38mm offset

Both sizes of EVO wheels will fit fine, but if you have a lowered car you will need to roll the rear guards, most people fit 225/45/17 or 235/45/17 to EVO wheels, the rear guards will need to be rolled regardless of the size.

On my white VR-4 I've had 2 sets of 17x7 wheels on it, one was 38mm offset, the other is 45mm offset and both of them clear everything perfectly fine. Both with 215/45/17's

On my facelift at the moment I have 17x9.5" wheels with a 35mm offset. The front is fine, but the rear arches need to be rolled quite a lot. I'm running 235/45/17 tyres.

Hi Brad I just curious, I interested in Evo 5/6 rim 17x7,5", 38 mm offset, its OZ racing, what the biggest tyre profile would fit prefectly on the car? is it going to rub the rear guard and rear and front flare fender? I love OZ rims, prefer this one than evo 9 wheel.
right now i am using 17x7 rim 40 mm offfset, tyre 215/50, it fit fine with no issue at all. reply asap plz

brad no longer frequents this site anymore. 7.5 inch wide rim will use a 225/45/17 tyre

What wheels have you got on yours - the pic looks awesome, my bbs ones are a bit lame, they work fine but that isn't everything

[Marklar]

Does Anyone have a maximum offset for 18"x7.5" before rubbage, im wondering if a 45mm offset will give me grief if i decide to lower (still at std ride height).

[bradc]

I know that at least one person in the UK has run 18x7.5" wheels with a 45mm offset. They were very close to rubbing on the rear suspension arch, but any 215 wide tyre should be ok. 225 might be pushing it a bit though. Probably better to go with something like 35-40mm instead.

EVO V OZ F-1's, 17x7.5 +38
215/40's

Lowered a bit, no camber correction in the rear.

Rays Versus 18" x 7.5 225/40/18 (gold rims)

don't know the offset.

was lowered by 60mm all round, looked great no rubbing at all. but put original springs back on due to very large speed bumps round manchester.

[Oblivion]

Old wheels were 18x7.5, 42 offset, 225/40/18 tyres. Fits no prob on lowered car.
New wheels are 19x8.5, 35 offset, 225/35/19 tyres. Rolled rear guards.

[stuey]

Used to have 18 x 8.5, 35 offset with 225/40/18 and lowered car, did not rub even WITHOUT wheelarch lip rolled.

No have 18 x 8, 38 offset 225/40/18 and rub very ocassionaly on big bumps.
