I built an AWD friendly set of wheels for my car 18x8.5 / 18x11.5. I ran Toyo R888s 235/40 315/30. I dialed in my KW V3s and added some camber up front. I had zero rubbing and did not roll front or rear fenders.

Here are a couple photos:




Your wheel specs and tire sizes sound good. Keep us updated.

 

i run 9x12x18 forgestars with a 40 offset all around lowered h&r's. brilliant setup.

 

Anyone running a 255-35-18 (R888) up front, obviously i'm not AWD anymore?

 

I still want to get those wider lips for my E88's Just need to build up the wifey points first, haha.

 

Here they are.


18x9x45, 18x12x40
245x40, 315x30


I need to roll the rear fender as the tire hits it under a heavy compression. And the front hits the liner at full turn. To remedy that I need to push the liner forward a bit. Neither is a big deal, just time...


BlackHorseTurbo got the wheels fast and was patient with my inability to commit. As usual.


Thanks to all that assisted me. The Advice was bang on and I love the look. And thanks to BHT. He came through as usual!

 

Sure looks clean.

 

Those tire sizes fit the rims perfectly!

My R888's are on the way. We'll see how much fender tweaking it'll take to fit them...

 

Thanks Paulie. But your car is the real CLEAN car. And one quick spooling ****!


Dr. Jekyll - thank you.

 

Thanks.Yours is only going to get faster.

 

I'm going to 235/40/18 and 315/30/18 later today. New wheels HRE C90's 8.5 and 12 and PS2. John at Wheel Enhancements is doing the install. I'll post some images and check the offsets and let everyone know.

 

So here is my set up. HRE C90's 8.5x18 ET47 and 12x18 ET43. PS2's in 235/40 and 315/30. Sorry for the quick Iphone shots but I got to the shop much later than I anticipated. The guys at Wheel Enhancements did a great job. I'll get some proper photographs done when I can. Love the stance now and no rubbing at all.

 

Looks great CarbonJim. Love the wheels.

 

Whereitsat, thanks. I got a great deal on the wheels. Could not pass it up.

 

whereitsat.. looks PERFECT. a little bit of fender rolling will take care of that. if you havent done an alignment in a while and dont want to bother with fender rolling, give it a shot.. a 1/10th or 2 of negative camber will probably remove the rubbing.

 

Thanks Steve, I couldn't be happier. I did get it aligned, but it's pulling slightly to the right and am bringing it back. I'll ask for a little more camber on the rear.
