Default wheel sizes etc help plz

hello all, im looking at some new rims and been considering a set which is 18 x 8.75 front with a +35 and rear 18 x 9.75 +20, will these fit, or am i better off gettin 8.75 all around, my arches are oem at the moment, so will i require rolling etc? your guidance is much appreciated

I think you are really going to struggle to fit a +35 offset under the arches, never mind a +20 Thats the lowest I have heard anyone inquire about on the forum! You would need mega arch modifications and lots of camber to get them to fit!

This picture has been posted so many times its sore...


That wheel is et38 so imagine what et 20 would be like.Ive got some 18 inch wheels that will fit your car without modifying the arches.

Whaninoz has 17x9+35 front and rears and the front arches need about an extra 2" welded into them as well as a roll and flare, the rear arches would also need rolling, bumper tab relocation and bumper trimming...thats for the fitment I mention.

The guys on the US forums have done crazy things like 10" ET20 but they put stupid amounts of camber (circa 6 degrees!) on and the car can probably be barely driven on their smooth roads let alone our bumpy, pothole ridden ones...hellaf*cked is what everyone calls it over here
