Will it fit??
And how wide can I go with tires if they fit??

 

Why would you do that? They make the C5 in +50 offset. Get those and you'll have no problem.

I know someone who is sellin' a set that are two months old. So it won't fit huh?? That suks!

 

Depends. What width are they, 8"? People have gone as low as +42 but I think it looks stupid. Sticks out too much. Also bad on the suspension.

Just my $.02

I'm running 19x7.5 with +44 offset and they fit with no rubbing what so ever!! It might rubb with 19or18x8 with +44 offset but if it's 7.5" it'll be fine!!!

Thanks tann.....i'm not sure what the width is on the rims. I'm gonna have to find out.

 

I have 18x8 with +50 offset and it's very close to rubbing! I don't think the make a 18 x 7.5 so i think you'll have problems with 18 x 8 +44.

 

My 19x8 +50 had better not rub!

 

Nate,
Your safe because if my wheels are 19x7.5+44
your wheels are .5" wider so you have to add +6.25mm of offset (44+6.25=50.25mm of offfset for a 8" wide wheel)

 

Sweet! Now, 225 or 235 rubber? Hmm..

 

Tann, what size tires are you using with those rims?

 

I'm running 225/35/19
Nate, I'm not sure what you should run.
To be safe I would run 225 but if you want to chance it get 235. People like the 235 look fat tires!! but IMO, I like the the stretched tire look, like my friends Celica 19x9 with 225/35/19......

 

I've got 18 X 7.5 with +42 offset and mine doesn't rub. Don't think you will have a problem. Just to let you know, my rim does not stick out, it sits flush with the fenders as you can see from my webpage.

I'm thinking 225 will be fine... though I do like the meaty rubber look, as well as extra rim-curb scrape protection...

 

Thanks guys for the advice..... 1,200 bucks for mint condition C5 18's is a great bargain. I'll let you know how everything turns out.

 

How wide is it??

 

Not sure what width it is.....i'm gonna find out asap.
