Solve this problem for me

Post by dimi »

Hey u guys just wanted to know for an 18 inch rim

Will the Mag size 18 * 8 fit without any rubbing scrubbing or any troubles, i have been told 18 * 7.5 are the way to go with 225/35 rubber.

But the wheels i really want are 18 * 8, i dont want to hear that dreaded sound of rubbing all the time everywhere, u feel me. if 18*7.5 is really the best, as in guaranteed not to rub then their probably the better option, yeah?

Help Solve my pain, please.


ps and no i dont not want to get the guards rolled

I've had 18 x 8 et +38 with 215/35's and had no rubbing........But i've made my own arch liners so it might be different on yours.

Hi mr_bishi. can you take some photos of your inner arch liner. I know a few of the guys down here have big problems, some have even lost them alltogether.

It's just a piece of corrugated flat black plastic cut to shape and held in with self tappers......I'll try with a photo,but there's not much to see. The good thing is,if you do tear a hole in them you just make another one! :lol:
