18"x7.5" Question

[theice]

Can I use 18x7.5's with an offset of 45 on a p5 without any issues?

I read Rishie's recipe and that size calls for a minimum offset of 48, but I just wanted to see if anyone has any experience with this size. THANKS!!!

anyone?

you will probably still have some rubbing issues, not major, but when you have some weight in the car. you will need to run 215/35/18 tires so that you avoid most of the rubbing.

I had to roll the rear fenders VERY slightly. I get no rubbing what so ever though now, and I even have a rather large system as well.

My suspension is stock, but I do have a pretty hefty sub-box in the hatch.

I'd say be safe and go with the +48mm offset. It would suck to buy rims that do nothing but look nice at a stand still but give you issues while in motion.

check out PRO_5's car. I'm pretty sure his formula is:
Slammed + Sounds + 18x7.5 +48mm offset = No Rubbing

I know your suspension is stock, but it's better safe than sorry. (thumb)

+48 so when you go and lower your car in the future..you know you won't have rubbing problems.

Thanks for the input. I'll have to keep looking.
