knnk Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Hello guys, i'm new here. I wanted to get a set of 18'' work emotion xd9 wheel, i will stay with my standard suspension, and want the front and rear wheel stay inside the guard. What is the right width and offset should I go with?? I'm thinking of 225/40/18 in the front and 245/40/18 in the rear. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2sty1 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 im no expert on wheel, but if ur going 18's and want the OEM look just get the same as the OEM 18's i think (not 100% sure) but the OEM 18's are: 18x8 front +45 offset 18x8.5 rear +50 offset 225/40 tyres front 255/40 tyres rear but i should go lower offset on the rears cuz my OEM 18's are tucked in too much thinking of getting 15 or 20mm spacers, but then thats illegal! :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the right width and offset should I go with?? I'm thinking of 225/40/18 in the front and 245/40/18 in the rear. Thanks Works wheels are expensive so i'd decide abit more on 18s or 19s. You don't want to get 18s and find out it's not the right look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlantis Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 i've been running 15mm spacers front and rear for 3 years without a problem from the cops! Police won't usually be the issue... insurance companies will if you have an accident however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knnk Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 question is what kinda looks do u want do u want flush look or do u want sumthing thats just fills the giards but not over the top Ya, i want something fill the guards and not over filled. I have noticed that 50mm offset is hard to find, they have 43mm on 18X9 and with the front there is 18X8 45mm offset. will this just fit or should I go 38mm offset in the rear?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilv1004s Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 9'x with 38mm offset will be etter 50 mm offset will be way to tucked in\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knnk Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 9'x with 38mm offset will be etter 50 mm offset will be way to tucked in\ So both front and rear go with 9''X 38mm offset?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilv1004s Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 well the rear guards are slightly wider so id say 9s in the front and 10's in the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1 Pete Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Dam they dont give u many offset choices!! Id personally go 19x9 +30 all round for a sporty look. +30 sits mint on is250's. If u want a wider rear, u can go 18x10 +38 and u can easily add a 5mm spacer for a bit more agressive look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knnk Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 I'm after 18'', just worry about 10inche with be a bit wide for the rear. man, hard to decide...anyone got 18''*8 with offset 45mm in the front and 18''*9 with 38mm in the rear?? Will this setup be too tucked in?? or just close to the guard?? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will this setup be too tucked in?? or just close to the guard?? thanks everyones perception of "tucked" and "flush" is different. I have 18x8 45mm all round. It would border line the "flush" to "to much tucked" stereotype. I like it tho. It could do with 10 to maybe 15 mm spacer on back or a different off set if i knew more when ordering. But IMO i like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No rubbing whatsoever (slight stretch) with the sports suspension and is pretty much flush with the fender (probably need a 5mm spacer to make it perfect). You can definitely go more aggressive.

ilv1004s Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 terry once u lower it though\ it might tuck in abit i gota see your car now ;p; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knnk Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 Thanks guys for all your help, I guess 18''X8 with 35mm offset in the front and 18''X9 with 38mm offset would be the better choice to go. I'm planning to run 225/40/18 front and 245/40/18 rear for the tyres. Do you guys got the pics for those different offset and width wheel??

ilv1004s Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 if your not planing to lower it you wont scrub at all your F+R wont scrub ever lowered. just make sure u get the right tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dis-lex-sic Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 you wont scrub at all your F+R wont scrub ever lowered. You have to allow for the FCE when it comes to tyres scrubbing. FCE = Fat Chick Effect. Next sticker for Atlantis to create, for those low & flush enough, below.........it's a must have on ilvs car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
