245 vs 255 with spacers ?

Mondo, If the stock 19" and 17" wheels have +50 Offset and 25mm Rear / 20mm Front spacers will "flush" the wheels....... then...... +45 Offset wheels should flush with 20mm Rear / 15mm Front spacers should have the same results.... Yes? I have a set of Enkei Raijin 18 x 7.5 +45 Offset wheels...

Great to see different variations of mods to these vehicles. Most go low, with sharp urban look, which is cool as well. I look to see this other track. Post pics of your bull bar when you get it installed. You're putting the "utility" back into the vehicle. Very nice. Thanks for sharing...

Nice dissertation on all the variables that may lead you to getting a set of dedicated winter tires/wheels. Life and safety being the center bull's eye, with property damage, inconvenience, feeling of comfort and driving confidence as the outer concentric rings. It's a cheap investment for a...

Very Nice, Thanks for posting those pics. Helps me out greatly in my tire selection. I have a set of 18x8 wheels and was considering going to a 255/55 but seeing your pic, I may be able to go to a 245/55 and reduce the rolling resistance a little and provide a bit more wheel protection.

Admit it, you know you want to...

Chris, so is the 45 offset a direct correlation to a 5mm size spacer to have the same flush as a 40 offset wheel?

Cool, thanks for the feedback. I'm inching closer to the 255/45 on 8" wheels, I'll just have to play with the air pressure to minimize the tire crown. I would have preferred 40 offset but these were used/like new wheels for cheap.

Concept car, but fun to look at.

But they look so cool....

So I picked up some nice Enkei Raijin 18 x 8 45 offset, to replace my silver 17" Touring stock wheels with an offset of 50 My lovely wife does not realize that you're not supposed to "feel" your way into a parking space. Now that i'm selecting tires, I'd like to see if I can get...

Wow those CX-3 wheels look nice. MikeM, Yup.....I'm sure marketing had their hand in the option revenue stream.

they weigh 23.8 lbs Wonder what the 2016 stock 17s weigh right now.

Picked up some nice OEM Speed 3 wheels. 18 x 7.5 Excellent condition, only $150 for all four. Thinking of powdercoating these Anthracite or Graphite ( not black ) Whatcha think? Too heavy a wheel?
