Might buy rims, will this work?

**mammoth713** · 08-29-2010, 07:33 PM

Looking to buy this guy's rims:

my car is lowered w/ strano springs and koni shocks...

they are:
*295/35 18
*275/40 17

will these fit with no rubbing?

(i know everyone asks will it fit, i did a quick couple searches and couldnt find anything)

thanks

width? offset?

I have the 295/35/18 in the bk rim 18x10.5
And it kinda rubs sometimes. Specially on turns

I ran 295/35/18s on a 10" wheel with no problems

It totally depends on the wheel offset.

k i'm trying to find that out now. hopefully the guy knows

thanks for the replies

unfortunately the guy doesnt know much about the rims..

so whatever, i'll measure it in person tomorrow

as i understand it, it will work as follows:
lets say its a 10" rim (probly isnt if it has 295s on it):
*38mm-54mm offset

lets say its a 10.5" rim (more likely):
*50mm-53mm offset, any larger needs BFH mod....

but who knows, my car is lowered an inch so maybe this isnt correct...

does anyone else run these replica rims like this with koni/strano setup? or similar??

it may seem fine when i put them on the car, but may rub on turns (wont find that out till too late basically after i buy them..

guy found old box.. sent me :

18 x 10.5

58mm offset

hub-70.7mm

???

so will it fit..

it has Vredestein tires if that matters

5/16" spacers(+ARP wheel studs), or BFH mod with the possiblity of still needing some thin spacers.

FYI!!!!! 295/45/18 will not fit

been looking for tires too fit these rims i got for 2 months now. bought a set of 295/45/18...really f'd myself on that deal.
although i was wondering if 295/35/18 would fit on a 18X10.5 thanks for clearing that up!
