18s and tires

[noon]

hi. I am looking to get some 18X7 motegi MR15 5X100 with an offset of +42 mm. was wondering if they will fit and what size tires sould i get. Thanks

Incorrect boltpattern. We have 5x114.3. That offset in an 18" with 7" wide wheel is a toss up for a rub. I'm almost 100% sure it will.

215-35-18 will prolly be the easiest size

you would need the 215-35-18 like he just said .. I have 18 inch motegi's on my p5 and no rubbung at all .. i was told when i drop it i will have to tuck in the rear fender so it dont hit ..

well Rishie already chimed in on this one.....so THAT is the word...

but something that would be helpful is knowing if you have a sedan or a P-5....it makes a difference.....

with the sedan....the +42 on an 18 will be barely makin it....and MAY still rub....you would be better off with a +45 if you can get it....

if you have a P-5....a minimum of a +45 is what you will need....

for future reference....check the VERY TOP thread on this forum....its Rishies fitment guide for our cars.....its the gospel
