Any ideas about these?

I'm looking to buy some TSW Mugello
Rim sizes are:
Front: 18x8.5 +40offset
Rear: 18x9.5 +40 offset
Will they fit without fender work?

And what tire size can I run with them? (Can I use my stock tires)

I am at stock height not lowered at all.

19x8.5 ET+ 40 Front + Rear. Will these fit with 225/35 front and 265/30 rear?
I tried calculate it and it seems to fit but want to be sure..(?) Dont know the name of the rims. Original springs.

225/40-18 + 255/40-18 if you don't want to roll the wheel arches. any wider tires, and you'll need to.

Fenders already rolled, but I'm dropped 2" on Megan EZ's
Megan EZ's have crap spring rates for wide/low-offset wheels. and at your ride height, your fenders are going to get taco'd - even with fender mods.

but if you really want to take a chance, you'll have to roll all four corners flat, shave the rear fender tabs down, and remove the front fender tabs altogether. 225/35-19 + 245/35-19. nothing wider unless you want to pull your fenders so far out that you might as well get new fender sheetmetal.

yes, you can run OEM 18" tire sizes w/ those specs.

short answer is yes.

however, technically speaking, OEM stock 18" front tire size is 225/40-18, not 235/40-18. whoever told you the latter was a stock size is wrong.

You are correct I don't know why I thought I was running 235/40/18, I just double checked and my front is 225/40/18. Will that size fit a 8.5J width.

hey guys, I've bought wheels and wondering how the following fitment would be

Front: 19x8.5 +15
Rear: 19x10 +15
How will these fit?
I have all 4 fenders rolled, but will be changing my suspension this weekend to Megan Ez's.
I am currently on Tein s tech springs.

Im very terrible at this , I would like to purchase BBS rims LMS preferable they are reps. My only concern is whether i should get 19" or 18" thats my only concern . Once i have purchased those rims what else should i know because i plan on dropping the car later on. So before i drop it off what information should i know and what size tires shoud i get ? Im new at all this and how should this offset stuff work.

Thanks alot !

make sure your fenders are rolled completely flat.

you will definitely need to mod your fender tabs (shave rear, bend flat front + remove fender bolt).

do not go w/ megan EZ's for aggressive-fitment wheels. megan EZ spring rates are too soft and allow too much suspension travel.

225/35-19 + 245/35-19 is the widest you can run.
215/35-19 + 235/35-19 will give you the most fender clearance.

you'll at least need to provide this much information before we continue.

1. wheel specs: diameter, width, offset
2. proposed ride height

i have 225/35/19 in front. and 245/35/19 in rear. I want more tire strech so i can get camber little closer to stock without rubbing quarter panel, and to expose more wheel lip. I'm thinking of either getting 235/35 or 225/40 ive never seen a 225/40 so i dont know if it looks like a bit to much sidewall or not. which tire do you think would look best? or do you think you could even tell by looking at them? thanks

Hey, I am a noob at this stuff. I'm planning on getting some wheels pretty soon. They're offered in 19x8.5 +15 19x10 +20 and 19x8.5 +32 19x10 +38. I want a semi agressive set up with minor fender modifications. Will need help with tire sizes too please.
