I found a great deal on some BBS RK wheels. Will I run into any problems with 18x8.5 with +25 offset all around?

I'm considering staying with the 18" non-staggered because (1) 18" tires are much less costly than 19"; (2) this allows me to rotate the tires normally.

Any thoughts?

they will fit, just not as flush to the fenders (front is a bit off, rear is off quite a bit more)

keep in mind, i suppose you will get summer tires. unless you dismount and remount the tires to other side, otherwise you can only rotate them front and back (for directional tires)

I'm currently using 25mm spacers front and rear, so I'm estimating that this offset with the 8.5" rim width will give me essentially the same look. An offset of +25 gains me 20mm, and the additional rim width gives me another 6mm, with a total gain of 26mm. Am I figuring this correctly?

I'm currently using Pilot A/Ss, so I'm just rotating front to back now, and I'm getting good wear. Considering PZero Neros which I had on my BMW and liked alot (although they were pretty poor in snow, which I guess offsets the idea of an A/S).

BTW, just noticed your signature line, rominl. I was planning to trade my BMW this past summer on a 530 until I drove one. I was underwhelmed. And Lexus isn't wowing me either these days. Decided to hold on to the old BMW for at least another year. I'm holding out to see what the RX-F holds in store!

what's the stock wheel spec again? 18x8 +?? if you can tell me that i can tell you how far off is the new setup from your current

yeah, it tough choosing cars these days thanks for the note though

I believe it's +45.

if stock is 18x8 +45, and you have 25mm spacers, that's 18x8 +20mm. the wheels you looking at are 18x8.5 +25. so effectively the new ones will be like 1mm more outboard from the current setup, which is practically nothing

so yup, your math was pretty much spot on

Thanks, rominl!
