i don't think you will be able to get away with it. I could be wrong though. I think that you will rub. The only hope i think would be to roll your fenders/quarter panels.

yeah an 8" is an option on a speed with the bigger arches but on our cars you need to roll the fenders...

however with a 225/40/18 (the tire i am running currently) stretched over the 8" width you may get away with it esp with a 48mm offset and no lowering... if you can i would try a test fit and go from there...

changed title for you to get some more exp people with wider wheels in here.

have you actually done that yet or are you just in the process of getting it?

Thank you for your input. I'm going to go about getting a test fit on. Gotta find out who might do that.

Will it fit? Yes. Will it work? yes. I am running that exact set up AND I'm lowered with no rubbing.

swamp you are in an ms3... he is in a reg 3... the reg 3 has different wheel arches... i am lowered (prokit) on a 42 offset 7.5" wheel and i do rub once in a great while in the rear... with a half inch wider wheel but 6mm (just about a half inch) more offset he may be all set but i would suggest checking clearances before the purchase...

I don't even know where I am anymore.

That's what I get for hitting new posts!

 

[tsunami]

nicely done. from one hick to another it works better when you don't confuse yourself.

I'm no hick. I'm south of the mason dixon. I'm a redneck.
