Pascal's wheels are 18x7.5's, not 8.5's. That helps a lot.

my bad, that's what i meant. . .and yes, it DOES make a world of difference, 8.5's wouldn't clear at all. . .

Pascal's car, you can see it under the pic section, he just sold it, he's running 18X8.5's with 225's on his CSVT, no rubbing ever mentioned.

Thanks Dion, I hadn't caught that one. Suneil, - My wheels are 7.5" - 43mm offset as well, which helps a LOT with rubbing. - The LEDA suspension setup that I run will not allow the wheels to move up into the fenders enough to rub. It can be adjusted to be alot stiffer than concrete.  And no, the car isn't sold yet.. In this picture you can see how the rear wheel clears the metal fender lip. My fenders aren't rolled or banged in either. No rubbing.

Sorry Pascal, I must've misread another post made in Pics/videos about your car. . .I think the biggest issue with rubbing our forum is the offset, and these wheel companies keep on selling us wheels with a low offset. . .I love those wheels Pascal, very nice ride, and it's good to hear it's still available. . .

In all honesty I'm dissapointed that it's not sold yet. I have a buyer that sounds very serious but he has his own car to sell, which could take weeks or months.  Thanks for the comment tho, appreciated. You're right about offset. People definitely need 42mm or 43mm to prevent rubbing.

love those pics! if Antonio and Bernie can squeeze 19's and a number of other people, including Pascal, are getting 18's in there no problem.....well. I think I'm not making too much sense here.....I think the question has been answered... ok...me go away now.
