are you lowered? and tucked?

with that offset

18x8 +30 will = fronts will be poke out about 1/2" flushed and rears will be flushed
Inner Clearance: 3mm LESS Outer Face Position: 29mm MORE
Tries: 235/40 18 no rubbing issues with stock height

lowered will need to run 225/45-18 it you do not want to roll you fenders

Stock GTS and the RA does not have the same rear suspension, thus you can not compare fitment on those 2 vehicles

thats why in the i started this thread!!! is to help all the RA owners that want aftermarket wheels to have some good info to choosing the best offset and width for there usage... plus the GTS and RA run the same stock wheels?? make it same offset and width!!!

also suspension has nothing to do with how far you want your wheels to be flush.... thats why having all the best fitting offset info and how much more space it needs and if it rubs... makes it easy to have a good stand on where to start.... and still updating... as people post things they try.... we will learn from each others....

now if you want to tuck your wheels to get the your car slammed... then thats a whole new ball game.... then we are taking about stock lower to the max level and getting the space we have left to work with.... to match a prefect offset to keep all wheels inside the fenders without rubbing... now we can max out the fitment with rolling the fenders and also spacer... or even just order some HRE, I forge, kenisis, or other 3 piece customs....

Once i pick up my RA, im going to my wheel guy and were figuring out the best offset to fit the widest wheels possible. I'd ideally like to get 18x9's all around, might have to pull the fenders a tad, so we'll see what happens, people just need to stop buying from tirerack and going by their standards.

The garage that I rely on for wheel/tire advice said they are slightly different offsets between the Ralliart and GTS.

on the stock wheels? no they're the same. its in the manual as somebody stated earlier

I just found out I got 18X8 with +35 offset not +45 maybe thats why he said I need a spacer???

Any thoughts?

evil03 · Apr 21, 2009, 12:57 AM

18x8 +35 will = fronts will be flushed and maybe even poke out just a bit and rears will need a 5mm spacer to be maxed flushed for lowering
Inner Clearance: 2mm LESS Outer Face Position: 24mm MORE
Tries:
225/45 18 will have no rubbing issues with stock height
235/40 18 SHOULD have no rubbing issues with stock height
***aggressive fitment in the front***

this fitment will push it out one 1 inch... which in my opinion is too much we only have about 3/4" maxed to make it flushed from the stock wheels offset

***if lowered the front will rub!!! on all dips bumps and drive when the car's weight is transfer from front to back and side to side over bumps...the tires sidewall should be pretty close to the fenders as there are in stock height***

you might wanna do a fitment test and put in the front wheels with the tires at a local wheel shop and see how close it is to the fenders but just realize that when the car is on the rack... there will be no load on the wheels... i must be sitting on ground level and it should give you a good sense of how much poke it will be and if you can lower your car...

awww so ur saying 18x8 +35 with 5mm spacers and 235/40/18 will rub if i drop the car.

That sucks I wanted to drop it at least 1".

evil03 · Apr 22, 2009, 04:15 PM

well these info are all calculation and from what i can measure off my ralliart

the front wheels are gonna be a very aggressive fitment with a +35 NO SPACER we only have a max of 1/2 to spare pushing the wheels outter... before rubbing when lowering... with that offset you fronts will be pushing 1/2" more that making it a total of 1" and thats gonna be way out there....

EVO VIII Enkeis w/ 245/40 17 Hoosier A6 / dropped on prototype Crucial racing springs = no rub whatsoever!

JONralli09 · Apr 27, 2009, 06:37 AM

What's the offset? and how much did you pay for the tires?
