Wheel Size Help
Wheel Size Help
I have been trying to figure out what the size and offset to go with. Been trying for about 2 hours now and keep going in circles.
I want a staggered, NON Stretched, minimum camber -3 in the rear would be as much as I want, flush look if possible.
I don't care about sizes much, I just need as much rubber in the back as I can get. (thats what she said)
I can roll the fenders and modify the wells a bit if needed. Also have adjustable BC coils too. It is not slammed either, just want it lower and not rubbing. The wheels im looking at are MB Battles
I was thinking this:
R 265-35-18 with a 9.5" wheel with a +23 offset
F 245-35-18 with a 8" wheel with a +30 offset

I would stay away from lower offsets.
for a clean fitment stick to +38 maximum.
9.5 should fit with a 265 but I doubt with a +23 offset. Ul have to certainly do fender work and some camber might be needed.
You should be good with those size wheels and tires. But I recommend +38 max offset all around.

This is a really helpful tool in actually getting to SEE what you like on a car, with all the specs laid out for you very clearly. When looking at the list, click on the "ID" link that is all the way on the far left of the list, so you can see all the pictures, and scroll down to the notes so you can see what suspension modifications have been done (rolling or pulling fenders, spacers, ect). Let me know if you need some help getting a set of wheel. Currently, we are having a huge annual sale on our JDM wheels (Volk, Advan, Gramlights), that will save you about double the normal discount.

So, I went with a 275/35/18 and 9" with +38 offset for the rears, it fits without to much issue, need to roll the fenders a tad.
The front is a 225/40/18 with a +43 offset, it is pretty flush looking. The tire sticks out of the fender about 5/8" but nothing that a little roll and pull cant fix. Either way, I am happy with the set up since I have 10" of meat in the back.

I don't need to do any reading. Look at what the ISF runs, or M3 or a Koenig. -2.5 is pretty standard.. I'm running -2 and have full tread contact. Why else would you want a larger wheel? For more tread contact.
Thanks! I labled them before and after. I dropped the front 3/4" and lifted the back 1/2". So it is level now. I also rolled and pulled the fenders too so it doesnt rub for the most part.. I need to adjust 1 more coil on the driver front because it rubs if I corner super hard.
