wheel fitting is the hardest.... another question

18x8 with a 45 offset. i think this would work since 18x8 with a 48 offset would.

could i go with 235's or would i have to have 225's?

dropped on pro kit

i have never been so confused with wheels before. some say it rubs and some say it doesn't. so idk what the hecks going on most the time.


any one running a set up like this at all?

That setup will extend the wheel 29mm further than the OEM wheels.

Will it work? Well, yeah. But you will have to cut the tabs and roll the fenders.

FYI, my set up extends 26mm than OEM and the wheels sit just about perfectly snug with the fenders. At 29mm, do it at your own risk.

As for the tires, 235/40/18 would be the ideal setup to match the diameter of the factory tires so the speedometer/odometer isn't off much... but that will rub like a son of a bitch. Go with 225/40/18... it will make it a tiny bit better.

But then again... I would recommend going with a narrower wheel or a higher offset. You're going to rub and you're going to hate it. Trust me, I'm speaking from experience.

Yeah, it's a bitch to find wheels for our cars. I know your pain. It took me over a year to find and decide on my Enkeis and even then, I was pushing it.

Good luck.
