I did a search, plz dont yell at me... lol...

Anyways, I want to throw some 18x7.5" rims on my 98 Lude... What offset do I need... +45 or more right?

Also, do you think I can put 40 series tires on it w/o them rubbing the top of the wheel well when I hit bumps (stock suspension)? And will they rub the fenders if I turn them too far left or right?

Thanks guys!

P.S. If anyone knows where to buy 18x7.5" VOLK TE37's for $450 or less... hook me up... lol. Also, besides rota slips... what are some other really really light rims that arent too expensive? Thanks!

 

Also, are the bolt patterns 5x100 or 5x114.w/e... or does it matter?

 

450 for one or for all?

 

yes we need 45+ offset and it's 5x112.5 or whatever not 5x100 though.

lol 450 will not get you a set of volks

 

If your on stock height, there shouldn't be any rubbing issues.

Yes 45+ offset is good. And yes you can put 40 series tires on without rubbing issues. Most Volks come with 48+ offset.

You will only have rubbing issues if you drop your car. If you don't want rubbing issues while dropped, go with 215/40/18.

225/40/18 will give you some issues with rubbing.

dood, i recently sold my VOLK LE37Ts with tires for $1500. you should have checked my sig earlier!

BTW, the lug pattern for 5th gen ludes are 5x114.3, and it does matter.

 

Cool thanks guys... also, Im talking about $450 PER WHEEL, heh... and does anyone know of any cheap light wheels besides rota slips... thanks!
