I was also wondering what it would take to fit a set of 18x9 +22 18x10.5 +12 Weds Kranze Cerberus's

massive pull/plenty of camber/and an extremely stretched tire

IMO you are getting pretty far over your head here.

depends on the width? if they're not a staggered setup and 8.5 all around then I'd go something as low as 20-25...i have a 29 (a tad sunken) in the front for a 8" wide and it still rubs...so depends on what you want...the lower the offset the more likely it will rub


WOOO 1000 posts haha

Ok guys I'm going with a 19x8.5 front +35 and 19x9.5 rear +35 with a 1" drop on my 98 SC. How will that look and what is the widest tire I will be able to run front and back? I'm thinking a 245/35/19 front and 285/30/19 rear? Thanks..!!!

That's the perfect setup without rubbing the fenders. I'm currently using that setup. You can still brace the cornering quickly without worrying about rubbing, but it's still nice enough to call it flush. Not a straight flush.

What about Tire size 245/40/20 on 20x8,5. Offsett 35 all around?






The reason I want these is that they are big....and really really cheap...New tires and no schratches..hmm...But my car has original springs...will it look like a SUV-wannabe with these wheels?

CL Member Name: Lex-fiend
Rim Brand and Type: Rota P45r
Rim Size f/r: 18"x9.5" all around
Rim Offset f/r: +20 all around
Tire Size f/r: 235/40 all around (slighty stretched)
Suspension Setup: Tein Basics
Comment On Ride: A little bumpy, much better handling with wider rims up front.
Fender Modifications: Rolled fronts, and slight roll on rears
Any other comments: I'm guessing between a 25-30 offset would not need fender/quarter mods.

I have 18x9.5 +20 with 235/40 tires and I had to roll my fenders and quarters.
You may need to run a 225 in the front (really stretched) or get a 235/35, and it still will need to be rolled. The rear will just need to be rolled.
