Default Yes another wheels fitment Question

ok. befor you roll your eyes I did search and I didn't find what I'm looking for.


I need to know if these wheels will fit flush on my 95 or what spacers I will need?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-8-...Q5fAccessories

Incase the link didn't work. They are XXR 521
front 18x8.5 +30 Rear 18x10 + 25
do I need spacers?

I am on tanabe springs with KYB gr Struts.

I also need to know the size and offset of the stock wheels my friend said He will help with fitment if I can get this info. But if you all can help It will be better.

thank you
jason

You wont need spacers. You'll need to pull the fenders to get clearance.

really! damn you think it will be a big pull or just slight. I already know that I will have to roll them but I don't want a major pull though.

The fronts would need a 15mm spacer to be flush with a decent roll and the rears only need a good roll. I'm sure you could easily use a 225 tire in the front and 265 tire in the rear.

cool thanks. I was going to go with a 18x9.5 they had on there but I wasn't available in silver which is the ones I want. what about if the front is 18x9.5 +25 or 30?

thanks alot

The 18x9.5 +30 would fit nicely with a 235 tire and a good roll. But honestly those wheels on a stretched tire won't stand up to a moderate pothole. Consider stepping up to a better quality wheel if you want to have a flush stance.

I've personally destroyed more cheap 18s than I have bent my better quality 19 or 20s

yeah I know about them being cheap and all but I don't have the money to get brand new wheels and I don't want to have to buy spacers to. I just want a descent looking wheel that fits nice and flush with out rubbing. It's hard to find a set of used wheels with the off set that will make them flush right out of the box. Plus the price tag of "better" wheels I can destroy 4 sets before I could pay for one set of works and have to find the right spacers. The cost of 19 or 20 inch tires are a lot to and 18" tires are flooding the market since everyone has been using 18". the price will drop on the 19 and 20's sooner or latter but I am still on a tight budget and have other cars that need engine parts. I'm just now getting in to stance and just want something simple is all I'm saying. I still have lots more to do but since I already have the drop I was thinking window tint and wheels will be next

thanks for the info

if you have any other suggestions on where to get a better quality wheels at a descent price please let me know.
