I'm about to buy these bbs rep lm style wheels.
Specs are 18x9 or 18x8 +38. The 18x8 has a 1.25 lip size and the 18x9 has a 2.5 lip. It's cheap thats why Ima just give it a shot but I was wondering should I get 18x8 all around or 18x9 all around? He say i can get custom so I can have it any way i want. And what size tires should i get? I dont mind a stretch but not a lot of stretching. I want my wheels and tires to be flushed with my fenders, so help me out! Oh i am lowered on megan ezs about 1.5 drop!

 

the wheels should fit fine front and rear cuz my wheels are wider and my offset is lower lol, your probably gonna have space in the back too. as for tire size idk depends on you you might want like 225 or 235s, personal preference if you want more stretched you can go for 215s like i did.

 

i think ima get the 18x8 all around +38 with some 225/40/18. I have half finger gap all around right now. I still could be lowered more, but im just waiting to get some wheels. You think this set-up, will i be flushed with the fender? I dont want my wheel or tire to push further out passing my fender.

 

oh and can i get 225/45/18? would that work? Because for more meaty in the profile. or it'll look weird?

 

the 225 should be okay since your wheels arent that wide and your offset isn't as low, but i personally prefer more stretched, but that is up to you. right now i still have a lil gap with 18x8.75+20 with 215/40/18. i dont think your wheels will be like flush wit the fenders but there shouldnt be too much of a gap atleast in the front. the rears might be more of a gap then you would expect since your offset is kinda high at like 38 lol, my 1 inch wider wheel and 20 offset isnt even flush yet so yeah, i think i can probably push another 5mm and make it down to like +15 offset for my rears. you might want to get a lower offset on your rears to make it flusher. if you do that you have to get a fender roll though. maybe like +25 would be good for your rears

 

i wish they have a lower offset for the rear but they dont. But they do offer a 18x9. So im thinking about getting 18x8 +38 front and 18x9 +38 for the rear. Slap it all on with 225/40/18. Hows that!

 

will that help the rear to be a push a lil further out to the fender?

 

18x8 +38 all around with 225/40/18 and ima get spacers for the rear? what brand of wheel spacers are good out there. i never used spacers before so idk..

 

well to answer your questions, did you roll your fenders yet? cuz thats pretty important. the 18x9 will help it push out a bit further and give a staggered set up if your into that. idk really know too much about spacers or brands, but you should probably get hub centric spacers to be on the safe side. even with the 18x9 rear your probably gonna have a lil gap but it shouldnt be too much. so i think you should probably get the wheels+tires and a fender roll and have them installed before thinking of spacers.

 

yeah i see what youre saying. im just trying to make sure before I order the wheels.

just look pg2 of my thread i posted some wheel pics for you

 

What Slick said is kind of backwards when it comes to the roll/spacers. get your wheels and tires or just your wheels first do a test fit & then find a friend with some spacers or use washers and measure how big of a spacer you need to acheive the look you want. when you do that take the car to a shop and then roll your fenders, you dont want to have to much of a roll/pull then your wheels are gonna look stupid.

 

with that setup to be flush your going to have to run spacers, and if you want to be flush you have to roll your rear fenders no way around it unless your not going to lower your car more and either way you hit a bad bump flush your going to damage your fenders

and just to throw it out there the 18's are going to look so small because the rims have a lip if it was full face it might be different.

 

Ok i decided to get 19s now.. i wanted 18 at first cause its a lot cheaper but freak iy!
Ima try find some 19 lm rep but its so hard to find some with a decent offset. I dont want my offset too low because i hate it when it pops out further then the fender. I like it evenly flushed.

 

do a lot of searching bro, and realize the work you will need to put in to make it flush

 

You gotta find how flush you want you wheels to be. Then decide all this lol

 

well i gave him the main guides get the wheels or a friends test fit play with spacers see the fitment you want and offset get it then test fit again then roll and pull / shave stretch your way to stanced goodness

 

should get - 5 offset LOL, thats what my friend has xD
