What size is good for sit flush ?plz

thehowlfactor 07-11-2014 09:49 PM

Something along the lines of 18 x 8.5 + 44 would sit flush.

TROLLEY and I both posted pictures of our cars fitted with 18x8.5 +44 wheels in your last wheel thread and noted they sat flush. This is the size you want for looks and practicality.

Sweet , thanks everyone , I was looking at rota grid because I like the look of them and they don't have them in that size

They exist,

Pictures - [url=http://www.wheeldude.com/wordpress/tag/18x85-rota-grid]18×8.5 Rota Grid | WHEELDUDE.COM[/url] (the 9.5's will give you another 18mm poke on top of this)

You can't get Grid-r's in that size, If it were me, I would just ignore the advice everyone has given (they are likely just jealous of the mad fitment you will have), buy the 9.5's that don't fit, then when they look rediculous sell them off at a loss just to make sure :)

Yes. You will need stretched tyres and coilovers to make them fit, and guard work will be necessary to run a lower ride height.

18x9.5 +38 (235/40/R18)
