18" wheel pic thread
#31
BC Forged RS43 (Brushed Clear)
18x9 +35 front and 18x10.5 +45
I want to drop the car next, like 1 inch...conservative, just as the wheels are. I am worried about the wheel/tire rubbing the fender. Oddly I thought a 275 would be right in the middle for a 10.5 tire...but it is definitely stretched a little. And there is some poke, which I was trying to prevent with a higher offset. Any advice...I feel like the stock height on my "sport" is borderline AWD height.

And the poke I'm worried about if I lower

Thank you sir. There have been a few changes since your quote of one of my newb posts. Okay, I'm still a newb...but I've learned a few things by hanging out here the past 10 weeks. This forum is a wealth of information!

Finally got some tires for the Enkeis.
Enkei NT03+M
18x9.5 +27
265/40R18
Wheel weight: 19.9lbs
Big Brake clearance: Yes (with a 2.5mm spacer in the front)
If Spacers are being used: Yes (2.5mm in front to provide sufficient clearance for brakes)
Front fenders are just flat rolled, and pushed out about 3-5mm. Alignment is still within spec and have about a finger's worth of space when tucked.
Also, my driveway isn't exactly even, so that accounts for the fender gap. Otherwise, it sits like my other pictures above.
