Thanks, Brian
I doubpt they will... although that is the factory offset the tenzo might not clear... worst case you'll need a 5mm spacer... extreme case 10mm... but it is a damn nice wheel so if I were you... I'd go for it

verde kaos (can't find offset anywhere)

With a +38 and 245 are are pretty even... If it rubs on bumps... You gonna need a NO FAT CHICKS decal.

A rear camber kit would fix any rubbing issues

The fronts are good to go.. No worries

You sure the fronts are all set even without the fenders rolled? I think I remember vipTL saying that he needed the front fenders rolled AND flared to run those rims with the suspension slammed. I just don't want to buy these things and then they rub.

What do you mean do it right? You mean like get a camber kit and tuck them? Basically all I want to do is just put the rims on and that's it. And not have them rubbing. I don't want to have to tuck them, or have the fenders rolled or anything. Sorry if im being a jackass here, I just want to be 100% before I buy them.

well if you are slammed ideally you'd gain handling by having equal camber driver and passenger seat... in other words... ie. if you do rub... it will be when you turn right/left coming from the passenger side... (purely an example)... correct the camber and you should be fine... since you areslamme a little higher wouldn't hurt so you dont rub... but honestly if you are really slammed the wheels might be negative cambered because of the drop... still likely hood is low... dunno how someone rubbed with such a high offset and 10mm more tire

Here is whats funny I have the same wheels on my car right now I just hate how small they look I have the Konig runaway 17X8 35MM offset and they clear the brake but I really want bigger and I believe the 9" has a deeper lip.LMK

Thanks Guys.

Mmmh... Good chance they'd clear the brakes... And 18x9 +25 is on my fronts with a 1.5" drop and I don't't rub.. So you'd be even with the fenders and have no rubbing

Now as for them clearing the brakes.. They might... In the rears you will have to negative camber inorder to clear the fender line and not rub.. Also you will have to roll the fenders.. I tried 18x9 +30 on a 245/40-18 wheel and it wasn't rubbing massively but it was definitely rubbing...

I haven't rolled my fenders yet so I can readily say if they will rub after the fenders are rolled... But with a rear camber kit you shuld be good might require like -2degrees

TL-s New TSW wheels

Yo, You guys seem to have all the answers and I need some. I just picked up an 07' Type S last week and want to put some new wheels and tires. I found these new TSW Croft wheels, however I was told they will not fit over the Calipers. What are my options?


http://www.tsw.com/alloy_wheels_croft.php

Looking at the 19" X 8" Machined gunmetal




Can I do spacers?

If so which are suggested and what size?

Are they suggested at all?

Do they affect the ride or safety?

If not, do you know of any similar wheels that do work?



Thanks in advance for the your advice and efforts.

Current setup is 225/30/20 in the front with no drop. I dont plan on droppin the car any time soon....

Could I run anything wider than a 225??
