Smile Wheel Fitment

Hey guys i'm thinkin about getting these Konig Free Falls



I wanted to get 18 x 7.5, do you guys think that would fit well in the front and rear?

i heard 18 performs the best, 19 looks the best, and 20 is impractical as far as U turns and stuff

i plan on putting a veilside executive sports body kit on later, so keep that in mind.

can someone also explain some of the terms to me for wheels as well, like staggered and all that i never have any idea what people are talking about...

but basically do you think this will be a good fit and look good?

thanks,
chase

plenty of threads about this bro..... just use the search button.

it all depends on the offsets the rims will have. i personally think 7.5in is too narrow but that just my opinion

Chase,

If you are planning the get a body kit, then you should go with 19.
IMO: 18 will look like a small wheel with a body kit, unless if you go with some agressive setup.

Chingpo05 gave you a link to a specific thread.
It`s a good place to start to learn about wheel size, offsets & what you need to do/choose.

thanks guys i read the fitment guide and i think i got a bit better idea of things, i guess i should go for 19

but what would be a good width if 7.5" is too narrow? i dont want it to be so wide that its gonna mess with the suspension

also whats a good offset that it meets right at the fender?

If you want to be safe...(probably requires no fender mods)

19x8.5 +35
19x10 +45

If you want to be a little more daring (requires fender rolling)

19x9 +26
19x10 +29

Good luck, I'd go with no smaller than 18's with a kit...I like 19's or 20's myself...
