Lucky you, a +40 offset is ideal. By only running a 225/40, you aren't going to have any significant fitment issues, perhaps minor fender rolling in the rear if anything. You'll clear the rear knuckle easily at that tire width. So, if you're looking for verification that those fit: yes.For...
I have 18x8.5's with a +38 offset on my car (which you can see in my gallery). I have 235/40r18's and clear the rear knuckle but had to do a little rolling of the rear fenders. You should be okay at a +45 as long as you stick with a 225/40r18. If you try to go any wider you will rub. That being...
They aren't going to tuck, even with rolled fenders. If you're rear rates are not 350# or higher, you can forget it, because your rear wheels will be rubbing the fenders, a lot. Why go with such a wide wheel if you are only going to stretch a 225 on there?
As quoted from http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete....jsp?techid=18"As an example of different tire diameters resulting from tires worn to different tread depths, we'll compare two 225/45R17-sized tires, a new tire with its original tread depth of 10/32-inch and a second tire worn to...
No, cutting the inner lip is NOT an alternative. It is a critical part of the structural integrity of the unibody. You can roll it, but don't cut it.Ideally, this is tool you're looking for :thumb: :
As far as the lower arm goes (when I had this issue), I replaced it.You can get one here Mitsubishi OEM Parts for $200. Sorry I couldn't be more useful as far as the axle and flywheel go.
I would like to know too.. If anything, the wider wheel would be in the front.Also, for 18'' FN01RC's, your optional width's are 7.5'' and 8.5'' (for DSM's)Have fun wheel shopping :thumb:

The rear spring perch for the awd shock is a few mm higher. I have yet to see proven numbers that fwd/awd aftermarket springs have different rates.O.P., I think you need to up your budget a bit. I would really consider forking out the cash for Koni yellows.
You realize that adding positive camber will only place the top of the tire closer to the fender lip, thus, enhancing the rubbing issue, correct?But who lower's a 2g with no rear camber kit?Not true. My fender's are rolled and the quarter panels are not deformed at all. I wouldn't go...
... Now, if the question was; "Can I run the same sized wheels/ (matching) tires with the rear having a different offset", he would be fine, as offset does not change the circumference. Offset is the distance between the true center of the wheel, and the point where the wheel mounts to the hub...
I disagree. Even the same tires that have worn slightly more than the other can have damaging effects.As quoted from http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=18"As an example of different tire diameters resulting from tires worn to different tread depths, we'll compare...
You can't run different sized tires on an AWD car without damaging the VC. I wouldnt even run different brand tires that are the "same" size.Same sized wheels, same brand, model, and sized tires on all 4 corners.
