So im going to be ordereing my wheels soon. And im going to be gettin an 18 x 8 wheel. Ive decided on the Enkei Racing Series GTC 01. Now i dont know what offset to go with, 48mm or 45? What do u guys think, my car is pretty heavily lowerd. Then my next question is, what is the best summer tire i can buy, and what size should the tire be for the rim?

Here are a few pix of the car to get an idea of how low I am:

Thx.

 

I was expecting it slammed. you're barely tucking lol

48 or 45 offsets will both fit..... how wide are the wheels you're looking at..?

 

looks like you're lowered about as much as I am.
I tuck by about a cm or so.

18 x 8 rim huh?

go +48 offset.

and for a tire, get the Michelin Pilot Sport 2.
it's the BEST summer tire available.

for size, get the 235/40/18.

 

He said 18x8

 

so if i go with the 48 offset will it be flush and not sticking out to much?

 

um...
you can't have flush and tuck at the same time.

either you're flush, or you're tucking, or you're sticking out.

if you're too low for flush, you tuck.

+48 sticks out LESS than the +45.
the lower the offset, the more the rim sticks out.
the higher to offset the more it sticks... in I guess.

you can be real close to flush+tucking, but you'll need to roll
your fenders and discard the plastic inner wheel well things.

I plan on doing neither, I plan on tucking slightly, and I ordered +48 rims.
+45 will probably work, no way to tell for absolute sure though.

depends on how anal you are about rubbing.
I'm pretty anal, I don't want any rubbing period.

 

i running 18*8+30 with no problems, so either one will do

 

and see I hear the same thing with people rubbing like crazy.
especially on the front.


Luder, are you dropped to where you're tucking?
if not, then you're talking about something different here.
