FTO AUSTRALIA

I was just wondering if 18" rims fit on the Fto?

Yes.

Perfectly? Or would it scrap when I turn?

Depends on the width and the offset. Quite a few people here are running 18s.

A search may provide you with some other people's experiences with 18" rims

Running 18s x 8" wide rims with 215/35 tires.. not sure what's the offset value though'
Bet it'll starts to scrub if putting on 225/235 wide tires upon full-lock.

considering I have 19" rims which do not scrub at all, it is definitely possible to fit 18" rims. Just make sure that they dont have crazy offset

^Tippin, what tire profiles are you running?
did you roll your guards?

215/35/19, na they havnt been rolled

J had 18x10 on the rear..

Thanks guys

I had 18x8 +35 running 225/35/R18 rubber. No scrubbing at all, but with a +35 offset the wheels aren't very flush and won't give you a particularly tough look if that is what you're after.

Although I loved the look, if I had my time again I would have stayed with 17's for a higher profile tyre rather than having to stuff around with guard work to fit a larger profile on 18's. 35 profile is a step backwards in terms of handling performance as far as I am concerned. Sure you might get a nice improvement to initial turn in due to smaller sidewall, I found the ride became much less compliant and when pushed the tyres wouldnt handle as well.

^ +1

Are there ever any problems with running 17s?

Yes... You can run into fitment problems no matter what diameter, you need to get the right offset/width
