16 inch 17 inch or 18 inch???


ok so today i finished installing the rear shock absorbers and i did not really like the way the rims look

any suggestions

should i keep the 16 inch do a bigger tyre such as 235 or 225 and add a small space of about 15 mm
Should i go for a 17 inch or 18 inch (i think i prefare 18 inch but i really want to keep the rims i have as they look awesome) besides the cost is too great to change them i dont have like 1.4k in euros to buy a complete set so any website suggestions would be nice.

17s are nice.
but personal preference, etc, etc

Don't go 18 unless u are 100% sure u have the right offset and tyre sizes I got 18x8.5 with a +37 offset did some major wheel well mods and they still rub I'd go 17s

17" white Buddy Clubs, problem solved!

Get some spacers man! 18 x 8 with a 235 with an 18+ offset, no rubbing!

Is that with no other modifications to the car? Fenders and stuff?

I know I should put spacers but if I do I'll need to roll guards or raise coilovers and I don't want to just now as I'm 8 weeks out till my new job and can't drive for at least 10 weeks maybe 20 lol then I'll be flaring guards rolling guards and full body kit so I'll wait haha sorry for temp thread stealing

go 17 and just lower it abit, das all you son!

I've got 17x8 with a +32 offset and I still get rubbing

sorry to sound so noob but whats the offset...

im currently looking in buying the same rims i have at 18 x 8 with 235x 35 ....will this be solved with say a 10mm spacer?

You need to find out the offset. We can't tell you until you have it.

This is what offset is:

mhhhhh

so basically i have to buy the rim first then i have to find out what it is?? bleh that sucks....

supplier i found it from suggested spacers or fender modification if i want to put 235 tyres on the rim

I think what Bennoz meant is that we can't tell you if it will fit without knowing the offset of the rim.

Not 100% correct all comes down to offset if supplier can't give u that info i wouldn't get them

ok so i asked them again what the offset is and they said its 40

If + 40 which it probably is stay away u don't really want to go over +25 I think unless u get spacers

Why dont you just take it to a wheel shop and ask them what wheels will fit like 90% of other people do.

Jesus christ.
