Will it Fit!
Hi Guys,
Im wanting to purchase rims.
Im looking at 18", 8.5 Wide with original 225/40 tyres fitted onto them (Think original tyres are 7.5" wide, i dont mind if they are stretched a little), my question is though do you know if i will get any scrubbing, or will have to roll the guards? I will be running stock suspension for a while till i save up the $$$ again.
Much help appreciated!

The tyre will fit. But I will be stretched.
As far as clearance goes, it all depends on the wheel offset.
-
Yeh i can't remember what offset he said, i remember him saying something along the lines of stock is +50, these will be +30 but i can't remember if this was correct or i heard wrong

or you could run 'alot' of camber and go for the stance look.

18x8.5 et30 running 225/40 will fit without any issues. I was running 245/40 on 18x8.5 et38 and lowered springs with no hassles (thanks to a good guard roll in the back). The wheels sat flush with the guards and during cornering would tuck PERFECTLY under it.

Thanks mate, sorry I forgot to mention I have a gen 2 mps3, is et30 the offset?
-
If its a 30+ offset then ur gonna have issues with rubbing against the guards, unless you roll them offcourse. I'm on a 45+ offset and i still get ocassional scubbing of the guards on the odd corner or two.
Also keep in mind with inner clearance in respective to your offset. Mine on a 45+ is already pushing the limit that if i went a 235 wide tires i "could" potentially scrub the inner struts on my coilovers.
