I have had several rims for my car and still can't find the right ones.

My car is lowered on KG/MM Super Sports and on Koni Yellows on the lower settings.

SSR GT1s Tirerack specs....RUBS!

OZ Superleggeras Tirerack specs....RUBS!

BBS RG-Rs Tirerack specs....RUBS!

Now I am getting to a point where I might just go with 17s, which I do not want to do because the 18s look so nice on this car.

Any help or suggestions would greatly be appreciate it.

 

If avoiding rubbing issues is a priority to you and you want 18" rims, then you should consider wheel manufacturers that offer custom off-sets to fit your needs. One that comes up to mind are WORK Wheels. I have 18" rims and absolutely have not had any issues. My car has KG/mm race springs by the way. With your set up you are most likely lower than 1.5" (?) and so it will be essential to get the perfect offset to avoid problems.

17" or 18", if you don't have the right offsets it will rub. There are maybe 2 or 3 single piece wheels that have good offsets. Even then, if you have a big drop and want to tuck the tires in without modifying the fenders and/or comprimising with thin tires, I'm guessing you're SOL.

You're best bet is a multi-piece custom built wheel. There are a bunch of companies, it's not going to be cheap, but you will have a perfect fit with the tire widths you want. Some companies are CCW, HRE, Fiske, and a bunch more that I can't remember.

 

You don't list what size tires you are running on those wheels. Have you tried them all on the car or are you going off what someone else has said? Also what type of alignment are you running? More negative camber will give you more clearance.
You may want to look at rolling the fenders as well. This may be all you need. You can also go with a little narrower tire or a tire with less section width.

The best fitting wheel I carry is the Shuk WR1 and they do not rub even if lowered.
If I can help let me know.
