Wheel setup question

Will 18" Axis Se7en's in a 42 offset work with A CL w/ a comptech drop? i was told the only way that would work was with a
215-35-18 tire.

The 19X8s with a +45 offset will work with 235/35/19s.

I have 18x7.5 +45 offset w/225/40/18 w/Comptech Springs/sways = no rub

I think Webtoker has 19" w 42 offset with no rub. So I think you can get 225/40/18 and be fine.

With the Comptech drop, you'll be alright...

but who told you 215/35 tires?? Those will be literally rubberbands!!

Go for something safer like 225/40 instead..

215_35_18 are too short of a sidewall compared to stock (rolling diameter that is), U'll be moving a lot slower than what your speedometer is stating, go w/ 225_40, or 235_40...

Who ever told U to go w/ 215_35_18 don't know jack about wheels & tires & plus 1, plus 2, ect... upgrades.
