Default looking at Work Eurolines 18x8/9 ET35

Im going to riding stock height for a little while, but in the meantime wanted to know am i going to run into any issues with this wheel set-up and ET...

I hear 19x8 Rub upfront, not sure of the ET, so im just wondering if the 18x8front 18x9rear will rub at stock height full load. (4-5 people in the car)

Depends on how fat your passengers are

man, you forreal, its going to depend on how much my passengers weight, i travel quite a bit to the beach with 2-3 other people in the car, and stuff in the trunk. :-(

what kind of offset do i need for me to not worry about fender issues with a 9inch wide tire

Haha. Sorry man, but I am not the guy to ask about wheel offsets and such. Just wait for another member to chime in.

but yes, how your suspension settles with passengers in the car will very much be determined by how stiff the springs are and how heavy your passengers are.

Think of it this way... You have a 200 pound passenger get into your rear passenger seat and the car will drop considerably more than if you had a 115 pound passenger in the same seat.

unless the wheels have some crazy offset, you should be ok up front...find out the rear offset so we can reassure you.

I think it should be fine, but if you want to play it safe roll the fenders.

at stock height you will not have issues of any kind, and 19x8 is pretty narrow for the front imo


you will poke slightly (again) at stock height. +35 is a very conservative offset

edit: im coming from an LS which has alittle more room in the fenders but the setup is sooooo conservative i cant see you having problems.... ever....
