18 x 7.5 wheels on a 4th gen
Hey Everyone,
I'm running 17x7's with 215/40's on them right now, +38 offset and everything fits great. Next week I'm going to buy some 18's, and I'd like to do 18 x 7.5's with 235's on them......is anyone running this setup, or can someone suggest what offset I'll need to use for the 18's? I have coilovers, so adjusting the height so they don't rub the fender isn't a problem, I'm just worried about clearing the a-arm and shock tower....
I'm gone for the weekend, so if you guys could give this a bump now and then I'd appreciate it!!! Gonna try and win some shows with the prelude with a good cleaning and some new dubbzzz....
On another note, I'm planning to get the SR Racing SR5's, black with polished lip. I'd like something either black/gunmetal with a polished lip, so if anyone has suggestions feel free to PM/email/post em up! I'm looking to spend around $150-200 a rim.....

$900 + shipping....tires have quite a bit left on them, but have some camber wear. Falken 451 tires (GREAT tire) in 225/35/18.
Consider this a bump drake

I had 215/35-18's on my 18x7.5's, and the offset wasn't quite enough and it would rub on hard cornering.....and that was w/ only a 1.5" drop in the rear.
I doubt that 235's will fit without rubbing or without modification.

Yes, you will not be able to run 235s on an 18x7.5 wheel, I dont care what offset you get.
