Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Wheels & Tires help with wheel and tire size

do u want those axis spider's specifically. they only come in 19x8. 8 inch wide i would get 225/35/19 for sure. they come in 35 and 45 offset. i believe 35 for an 8 inch wide wheel would stick them out too far and very likely give u trouble. the 45 would be preferred BUT the problem may be on the inside of the wheel with hitting the strut. if u convert to coilovers then u free up some room and should be ok. ask antonio who has axis rims in 19x8 w/ 45 offset iirc how much room he has between his wheel and gc's. if he has little room, the wheel may likely hit noncoilover setup. if he can get a few fingers in between, u may be able to do this setup.

How does this setup sound??


Enkei CDR9 Silver 17X7.0 4 on 108mm 40mm offset

215/45R17 H Kumho ECSTA 711

Car is not lowered and does not have modified suspension but soon am getting eibach sportline coilovers

u should be fine.

i like those rims alot but dont have my heart set on them ,on there website they offer a 18" wheel also i just put the bat europen handleing kit on.

would 235/40 or35/18 8inchis wide withe 45 offset fit without rubing?

we should have a stickey were people can post there tire/wheel size and suspention set up and what if any thing they had to do to make them fit properly, and how bad they rub.

thanks for every ones reply really apreciate the help.

i'm not sure 235/35 or 40 in 18 is even a common size. 225/40 is the most common and should do well for 18x8. guaranteed not to rub? its a tossup, but dont go below 45 for an offset.

they must've added 18x8 cuz i checked that before posting earlier.
