It will fit up front with a 235/40 tire but will not fit in the rear.

what wont fit in the rear the rim and that tire size? or just the wheel and also what if you roll'd the back fenders would that help?

The +25 is pretty low but it will work with a stretched tire ~215 or 225 and lots of camber. It will look retarded imo but people have fitted with lower offsets.
Im running a 245 tire on a 17x9 +35 and dont rub at all with -2.8 of camber.

hey guys..

im currently running volk mesh wheels 17x8 +44 volks with 215/45/17 tires... dropped on racelands. no major rubbing issues, rear fenders are rolled.

im debating on trading for some advan rg 18x7.5 +45 with 225/40/18 tires..

my concerns are #1. will i have fitment issues with the 18s? #2. will i loose performance? #3. will i look like an SUV? or can our cars handle 18s just fine..

Thanks for the input.

1. you wont have any issues with the fitment. That's pretty much like a stock size and offset (width/offset).
2. Yes!!! 18s a little too big for our cars. Also they are much heavier than 17's. 17's are the perfect size for a Ep track car.
3. It can handle 18's... i've seen some people with them but imo they look really silly. Just imagine an older honda civic with 17's on it. It just looks weird and out of place.

Thanks for the advice..i think i might just hold off till i can get a more aggressive fitment on 17s..

Do u guys think 16 x 8 pluss 33 offset with 205/40/16 tires fit without rubbing with rear quarters rolled and do I have to run negative camber, and how much??

[27rocks]

That should fit just fine but why such narrow tires? And you might need to run a little bit of camber but not very much.

I'm getting theses wheels from a friend of mines and that's the tires he's running. What tire size should I go with?

18s are ok. someone had the Mugen GP's from the FG/FA. looked ok. turbotypermanda had the honda edition volks (champ white w/red stripe) in 18's. looked hawt.

I test fitted my buddies 18" mugen GP's and it looked like a clown car lol. The size and wheel shape has to be perfect for it to look ok. Super low ride hieght is also a must with such big wheels to conceal their size a bit.
