I've read through the tire and wheel selection thread, and it's left me with a "could go either way" feeling about this combo...

The wheels I'm looking at are 18x8 with an offset of 41. I'm dropped on Koni Yellows with Comptech springs. I don't know how many inches of drop that is, but I'd say it's a bit more than the A-spec. I have about a 2 finger gap.

Does anybody have this same setup? Who thinks I'm going to rub?

If I can get away with this setup it will save me lots of money

I think you'll be too close.

You have a big gap, over an inch, so you might not rub.
But I bet you'll stick out past the fenders.
Or maybe you'll be completely flush.

I'd say no.

Go with an offset of more like +45 or higher if you want to be safe.

Remember our stock is only 7 inches wide with a +55 offset.

First of all, if anything is going to rub, it won't be the wheel. You need to consider tire specs as well.

I am open to suggestions for a tire that would work with this wheel and drop. If I can make these fit it will save me a considerable amount of money.

My other alternative is buying the wheel in the correct offset but wrong color and paying to have each one powdercoated.

theres way too many factors... suspension tire choice yadda yadda... I read people runnin more and more aggressive with no problems.. I personally running 18x8 18x9 +45 with a 235/40 tire with no rubbing issues at all... and I'm LOW... with such a mild drop there should be no issues...

I rub over certain bumps and dips and I'm running 235/40 on 18x7+45 and that's with roughly a -1.2" drop

I'm on 19x8 +49 offset shoes with 235/35 rubbers with some tein flex and only rub when in a turn on local streets and if there is a slight bump in the pavement during the turn.. I live in NY so that is expected with these crappy streets but what can you do..

BTW rex. You coming to the meet in long island.. check my sig for info..

Hmm...I think I better play it safe and stay away from those wheels then. Thanks for the help
