MS3 Owners: Show us your wheels

[Wastegate13]

The wheels are 18x9 38mm offset, tires are falken Azeni RT-615 235-40-18. Im lowered on tein springs and they fit great. Minor rolling was needed in the rear but thats about it.

What kind of wheels are they? I think I liked your purple ones better.

Awesome I love those wheels! MBs right? I take it the offset really helps with the fitment. Also I bet you got a good bit of inner clearance on the front wheels between the struts/springs.

Do you got any good rear shots or side shots?

so if 18x9 with 38mm offset fits i guest 18x8.5 with 48 offset shouldnt have any rubbing problems??

18x8.5 +48 would be .4" closer to the strut, my guess is that it'd hit

good to know, thanks for the link. has anyone tried this fitment with a wider/taller tire? 245/40/18? or at least a tire that's about the same height as stock? (I don't want to give up any gearing)

You could go with a 235/45/18, that's a bit taller than stock. 235/40/18 is just a bit shorter than stock.

I guess my question is are they using a shorter tire because of fitment issues?

235/40 is a much more common tire size. Tire Rack lists 17 tires in 235/45 but 88 in 235/40.

Depends on your offset.

 

[DougM]

Depends on your offset.

he's asking about the rota as linked above, at 18x8.5+48... with a 235/40/18 or 245/40/18, instead of the 225/40/18 as pictured in the thread.
