Wheel Offsets - the "will this wheel fit" thread
- Thread starter unclepaulie
- Start date
I'm sold on a 6-spoke look; looking at Rota Grid and Grid R's currently. R's only start at 17x9 or 18x9.5, so I think they're out though.
The normal Grid's come in 18x8.5 however, but not in +35 to +38... Closest is +30, or a +42.
My question is: if I run a 235 tyre with a 18x8.5 +30 wheel, will I run into any issues?

I haven't bought them, or have any in the spec to test fit...
However, I did just stumble on someone on this forum who did it previously - so looking like it might work! Wonder if they'd clear Brembos.

Some guys in Russia have also fit some 18x9.5 here - http://www.lkw-neva.ru/our/disk/2011_Mitsu
But no offsets given, and they poke a bit.

Running Volk TE37 19x8.5 with 235/35/R19 tyres with both Evo 10 (front) and 6 (rear) Brembo calipers. So looks like they'll clear on a 19.
I've sent him a message, want to know what offset he's running, and what he had to do to get such a big wheel to fit. Possibly the low profile?

Working on getting Enkei NT03 18x9.5 +40 to fit. The rear needs a 5mm spacer to clear the knuckle, and will have to get fenders rolled, maybe slight pull. Will post pictures when it's done
Hey man,
I have the Grid R’s in 18x8.5 +32 and they clear brembos fine
Absolute life saver man!
Been doing so much googling trying to find a clear answer that's not just anecdotal
!Just 2 questions if that alright, man?
What size tyres are you running? Any scrubbing issues you had to fix?
And...
How did you find: 18x8.5 +32s? According to every dealer, and the Rota AU site - they only come in 18x8.5 +30...

I have to agree, meanest looking Legnum in my opinion man. The wheels just set it off. Nice.
You will probably get a slight rub on the inner suspension
Even 235/45/17’s are a tight fit
You will definitely need to roll your guards even then I’m not sure

I think you could do it with rolled guards and a 5mm spacer, this will give you some poke I'm sure. But as Gav mentioned, 235's will probably be the sweet spot in my opinion.
where can i get 5mm spacers from for our cars? i think i might risk it and try and if they dont fit ill have to try sell the tyres as the seller wont seperate them for sale
