18x8 with +38 offset will it work
Thursday, May 22, 2008 7:33 PM
I searched, but couldn't find the answer. I was wondering rims with a size of 18x8 and +38mm offset will fit on an 04 cavy with Sportlines.

Thanks,

idk why this didn't work earlier. but i'm gonna take my answer back on this.


it'll be close, but i'd say go with a 42mm offset 2 be on the safe side!

maybe i should read next time. but i still think u should go w/ a higher offset. 38mm will stick out more!


usually u want the little tuck in the fender look! so i'd go w/ a 42mm!

I thinks its more a question of tire width. Cars with full coilovers will be able stuff more tire underneath than those without. I run a 225 width tire. I have very little clearance between the inside of the front tire and the stock style strut. There is someone on the org running 245/45/17s on a 17x7" wheel, but he has also installed Tein SS Coilovers...

I have 18 x 8 with a 42mm offset and that is still extremely close. I rubbed some under carraige coating off the inside of the front tire wells running a 225/40-18
