Pathtoyorsoul Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 So I'm planning on getting a set of Sparco Assetto Gara's which are 18x8" 5x100 with a 46mm offset and was gonna run 245/35/18's..I shouldnt have any problems on a stock suspension without rolled fenders right? How about if I drop the car 2"s ? Also, my car is an ABP Sedan, how do you guys think the white ones would look? Heres the wheels for reference: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseUpServlet?target=wheelCloseUp&wheelMake=Sparco&wheelModel=Assetto+Gara&wheelFinish=White+Painted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dbl_D718 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 why that size tire? i have the same size and offset wheels with 225/40/18 tires, lowered on eibach pro kit/stock shocks, no rubbing. Because 245 looks cooler Interested if this would rub or not as well.

waxon_waxoff Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 you will rub the spring perches up front with a 255 on 18 +48. +46 will give you a little more inside clearance but i don't think 2mm is enough.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathtoyorsoul Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 K..so let's go with what size do you think I should go with everyone? Well do a poll..I want sporty and performance..need to look nice too...still with runnin the 18x8 with 46mm offset..what size tire do you guys think?

waxon_waxoff Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 someone else will have to correct me if im wrong here but go with 235 section width if you don't want to roll the fenders and 245 if you are willing to roll the fenders. pretty sure at stock ride height you won't get much rubbing. but with a 2 inch drop....... probably? inside rubbing with the 255 on an 8 inch wide wheel with +48 was corrected with 5mm spacers. so maybe to some searching on this site for 255 sizes to find out who's running them with what offsets etc...? tl/dr my vote would be 245/35/18.

Dbl_D718 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 There's a lot of conflicting info to be found here lol. Several people seem to have run 245/40 without needing to roll fenders and get no rubbing, and several seem to have needed to roll, pull, and add negative camber to fit 245s. I've been searching for days and haven't gotten a clear answer. I've been looking for info on 18x8.5 +45 though.

waxon_waxoff Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 it does depend on the tire manufacturer and model. im running falken fk452s in 225/45 17 and they almost look stretched on 8 inch wheels. the azenis look much chunkier in the same width however. i bet the fk452s would be fine in 245 whereas the azenis might need some rolling in the same width due to the shape of the tire....

Dbl_D718 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Yeah I think I'm going to try opting for some narrower 245s or wider 235s by comparing their section widths.
