Hi everyone. I just purchased some ADR Battle Ex Rims. As I grabbed the last 4, 2 of them were 48 offset and 2 were 42 offset - both 7.5 inches in width. I have reviewed and looked at the chart in the sticky in this forum many times, and notice some people have luck with using a marginally bigger tire than the recommended. Car is bone stock and not lowered.

I am using the 48 offset for the front and am going to stick on a 215 / 40R 18. I should have not problem. I was going to try the 225 / 40 R18, but the chart does not recommend it. SHould I be cautious to consider the 225?

On the Rear, I wil use the 42 offsets as the rear is more forgiving than the fronts by the chart in terms of using a lower offset. I was going to put on 235 / 40R 18's.
as the chart states - no problems

I am considering 245 R 35R 18's as well, but the chart does not recommend these be used without a 45 offset......should I be caution here to use anything larger than a 235?

What are the chances the rims / tires will stick out of my fender wells with this set up or should it look nice?

 

They won't stick out past the fender. I'd run a 245/35 rear, a +42 offset won't be a problem with that narrow of a wheel.
