Hey all, I thought it would be helpful to have a thread for someone like me who is thinking about getting 18

WashabiS2K

don't think you will find many without rolled fenders unless they are running stretched tires, that are sized smaller than usual so it wont rub.. i am dropped on 18's and i had to get mine rolled because i have a half a finger gap in the rear... but then again, im lowered on espelirs, so im not sure about the other ppl out there that are only dropped .5" - 1.0"

^your SSRs are so sick man. Good taste. I"m droped on H-tech springs, which give a little less than a half an inch. drop and I had to roll my rear fenders. They rubbed bad! My wheels are a low offset though, +43 in the rear and 8.5" wide.

if you don't want to run into rubbing issues, just get safe offset 17" wheels.

haven't there been threads like this before....but anyways, i'm running 18" volk le28n, (7.5 +52 fr 225/40/18 bfg kdw2, 8.5 +50 r 255/35/18), dropped on swift springs with NO RUBBING and NO FENDER ROLLING. It is my dd, and i've auto-x on them once, hope this helps.

Falken Ziex 512's 225/40 and 255/35 <--they are for sale btw

you can prolly go 265 with the ziex's and still not rub
cuz of the rounded sidewalls

Its all about the offset. And alignment. Many people run 18's without having to modify the fender or rub.

If you go into the wheel and tire forum there is a guide there thats tells what offset with what tires work.

winson123

even with proper offsets, there is a give and take w/alignment vs tread wear (due to alignment) vs ride height vs tire sizes...

im in love with my new beefy azenis so much that im willing to raise my car up a bit

On my old setup with my RoJa formula 5's I didn't need to roll my fenders since they were pretty conservative with 18x7's in the front and 18x8's in the rear with 225/40 and 255/35's. My SP1's were a different story with my steep ass driveway.
