18x9 +48 OZ Ultraleggera and 235/40-18s?

[QuickSpeed3]

So, i bought these wheels for my winter setup, not realizing how wide they are. I am currently running 215/45-18s for my winter tires. But when the summer comes around I might want to switch to a wider summer tire

Will 235/40s clear on these rims?

this is for a stock speed3, though i might be lowing it a little somewhat soon with the coilover kit.

Wow! 215s fit on a 9" wide wheel?!

I dont know for sure about rubbing issues (I would guess that after lowering it will rub with 235s) but it'll look sweet if they do work!

i know 235's dont rub on stock height..lowered u may get rubbing when u turn

my 215's just fit on the rx8 18x8 50mm offset

i plan on going to 235 when its time to change stock rubber im lowered on coilovers. Some have the sme set up and say 235s work

i think i saw the picture of that...like this much space ---

There is no such thing as an 18x9 OZ Ultraleggera in +48mm offset. You likely have an 18x8 and the 235/40 will work great on it.

 

[clos561]

my rims are 16x8 50mm offset and they fit fine..i think 50mm?

 

[jp4130]

dude have you even tried to fit the 9" wheel on your car? The very most I've ever seen fit this car is a high offset 8.5" Wedsport wheel...and it was able to fit only by a mm or so from the strut. TOO close.

Just right

No 18X9...correct

16" fits over our breaks? Looking for autocross wheels and 16" would be the light!

 

[Powerslave]

im running 235 40s no problems except the steering doesn't feel quite as light as before , but the grip is serious..

 

[QuickSpeed3]

Doh! Yeah, that was a typo. It should have been 18x8. I was in the middle of selling my 17x9 evo wheels at the time...

Ok, so, will it rub on 18x8 with 235s if dropped a little with the Mazdaspeed coilover kit?

 

[SwampAss]

yes. Just in the rear.

 

[QuickSpeed3]

yes. Just in the rear.

Where? On the fender or on the suspension components?

 

[SwampAss]

fender.

 

[QuickSpeed3]

fender.

At stock heights too, or only while lowered?
