Rims!Offsets!

[Jerry J]

Hello all, I’m a tad confused regarding rim sizes. I am getting coilovers and want the rims done too. These are the beauties I want and I‘m kinda fussy. BUT
according to my mechanic I can only go 7.5 with a 48 offset. (18”’s). I get the sticking out too far bit but are there other options regarding sizes? Also if I did go with these there is a three month wait but hey I’m not alone there....cheers Jez

Sorry, some people got a life besides the internets

got myself some 18x8 ET44, and some 17x7.0 ET45. The 18x8 ET44 fit just fine, the 17 are too much inside the wheel wells.
I do not have coilovers though - standard shocks at standard height.

You shouldn't fix 7.5 and 48 offset... need a better option.
I am running stock rims (7.5 55) with 20mm spacers, it is equivalent to 7.5 35 offset. And the wheel is almost on the limit.
Stock suspension, only camber mods (lca)

Could you post some pics of the wheels on Levorg?
I think 8 wide and 44 offset will fit perfect

Hi,
Do you get any rubbing with weight in the back?
What do you mean by camber mods?

Thanks

No rubbing, but i am running 225/40/R18 tyres, however 225/45 will be ok.
In our cars, rear camber modifications are done by lca (lower control arms)

Went for the DTM Syrio Wheel 18x8 42P offset. 225/45. I have loaded about 250kg in the boot and back seat and had no rubbing.
