18" Alloys

[Adam1982]

I am looking at purchasing some 18" alloys and have been told that i should be looking for wheels with an offset of 45, my car is lowered 30mm on springs so wondered if this is correct and they won't rub

Thanks in Advance

The offset of the 17" mk7 alloys is ET 47.5 so an offset of 45 should be ok with 215/35 R18 tyres

with 35 ratio tyres the ride will be shocking and unless you get good strong wheels i.e. oz racing, they will probably get buckled

Thats exactly what put me off getting 18s as you need to get a 35 ratio tyre for no rubbing with the wheel arches. You are talking £1300 for a set of OZ's with average tyres
