Wheel width/offset/size and tire fitment Q&A thread
#256
#257
I'm looking to get some 18x9.5 +30 front and 18x10.5 rear. I have searched high and low and I can't get a straight answer as to wether or not these will fit my 2GS.
If anybody knows, what type of fender work will need to be done?
I kind of have some tire sizes in mind.
I was thinking 225 40 18 front and 255 40 18 rear. Any thoughts?

I was going to run these in the Varrstoen 1.1.1.

I'm looking at the Enkei NT03+M wheels in the 18x9.5 size front and rear (square set up). The wheels come in both +27 and +40 offsets, and I'd like both front and rear to have the same wheels and tires.
My car is at stock ride height right now and at most will be lowered 1"-1.5".
I'm looking to do minimal fender work.
My tire of preference is 245/40/18 front and rear.
1) What will be required to fit the 18x9.5 +27 with 245/40/18 tire front/rear?
2) Will the 18x9.5 +40 with 245/40/18 tire fit the front/rear without hitting the control arms?
3) Would you recommend the +27 or +40 from an ease of fitment perspective?
Thank you.

Assuming no camber or body work. Fronts will probably rub. Rears will probably be fine

Tirewise I don't see any issues, the 10" rim is a bit wide but with a 30mm offset that pushes it out 15-20mm further than the stock rim, should be enough to clear. Just be wary of those bridgestone RE050 if you're trying to get a stretch on the sidewall at all, they're notoriously stiff tires.
