rim question once again!!!

ok I've decided what rims I'm getting...
what tyre size and whatever do I need to make sure a
18x8 rim with a +37 offset doesn't rub?

Post by **aza013** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 3:22 pm

I would have a go with 225/ 35/ 18's

+37 offset is a bit high... with an 8" width, you'll need some spacers no matter what tyre you choose!

How big will the spacers have to be?
and how much?

My rims are 18x8 on a +32 offset & I have to use a 2mm spacer to stop rubbing. So with a +37 offset, you'll need a 7mm spacer...

They are not expensive, but Im just not sure they make them as big as 7mm.

would these be alright?
i found a universal pair for $25 each...
and tempetyres whom im buying the rims off want $50 each as they are custom fitted
is that actualy necessary???
or are they just trying to upsell sh*t to me?

I wouldn't use Khumo's mate, what else do they have on offer?

Valandis91 · Post by **Valandis91** » Wed Dec 17, 2008 7:16 pm

for around my budget I'm not sure...
but will the 8mm spacers be fine???
I'll find out what other tyres they have..

I thought for a sec Val had decided to keep his car.

But no.

Valandis, you're no longer selling the car?
I suggest 17" rims rather than 18"

Bennoz, I thought you really liked the KU36 tires?

dr390 · Post by **dr390** » Tue May 15, 2012 1:00 am

Since its on the discussion on rims
Would 18x7.5 offset et30
225/40/18
Would it scrub or do I need spacers?

4 years ago when I wrote that, Tempe didn't do the KU36. In fact, they only had 1 Khumo choice & it was a sh*t tyre.
