New wheels questions

[jodacoto]

will 18x8 +44 rub ?

im about to buy some new RE30 wheels but i want to go a bit wider than stock ,i have the stock tires i want to install on the re's , and when those wear out , i plan o getting 225's or 235's

will 18x8 offset +44 work fine ?
or should i go with 18x7.5 offset +50 , or even 18x8.5 +52

i believe that they will work just fine. if you want to play it safe, 18x7.5 +50 would be a better fit, but you lose some wheel width which sucks. 18x8.5 would probably rub until you rolled the fenders

I wouldn't expect the stock tires to fit on an 8.5". A 235 width tire is perfect for an 8.0", and a 225 width is well-suited to a 7.5". I think 7.5" is about as wide a wheel as the stock 215 width tire will fit on.

i have the stock tires on my 18x8's no problem

ok , so forget about volk, placing an order for those wheels is hard work , you basically have to beg for them to sell you a set and it takes about 6-7 weeks for the shipment to come to usa.. well i just ordered a set of
Tsw 18x8 +50 5.114.3 ,20 lbs each ..

Rota makes a wheel identical to that called the Circuit 10. It's actually a copy of the Mugen MF-10, a super-expensive JDM wheel for Hondas.

Mugen is a high-end aftermarket company in JDM-land. It's similar to Nismo and TRD. I too question if their stuff really is THAT good.
