help with aggressive wheel fitment

[mattsGSTeclipse]

I came across a pretty good deal for a set of work wheels and I'm wondering if they will fit. They are 18"x8.5" offset 22, tires are 215/35/18. I'm using eibach sportlines and tokico hp struts. I don't mind running up to 3 degrees camber. Thanks

That should answer any questions about tire/wheel fitment.

This site can help you decide how combos like that would work. Don't take it as 100% correct, because it makes some rough approximations.

Because you are stretching a 215 on a 8.5" rim, handling obviously isn't your top priority.

And the face of the wheel will poke from the fender.
You may be able to fit it just because the tire is stretched.

if your going to run a 215 i think you will be ok i run a 225/40 18 no problems

Its not really the size of the tire at this point, more about the offset. +22 is pretty aggressive, what offset are you running?

what is the stock offset and distance from fender to hub?

What type of works are they?Also if they are three piece or two piece you have to worry about what wheel disk it is. because if it's the low O disk you're going to have to run spacers to clear your front calipers.

I ended up passing on those wheels, now I'm looking at the new work emotion cr ultimate rim. 18x9.5 Work usa said I need to run a 20 offset to fit oem evo brakes. how will these fit?

 

[lee98talon]

with a +20 offset, your wheels will be sticking out about 1 to 2inchs in the front and back. So, to make it sit inside you have to pull your fenders OR do a really aggressive chamber . But, you should clear the evo brakes with no problem with a +25 offset or in your case a +20offset, i think. I don't really know who big those evo brakes are and never seen them in person, so i wouldn't really know, but I had a lot of clearance with my xxr.

xxR 18x9.75 with a +25offset. Slapped them on the other day to see how they would look like( just for references) . Stock height and suspension.
