is +38offset good for 18x8 wheels

 

Yup, sounds great. I have +45 with 6mm spacers (aka +39) and it fits fine.

 

do you have the spacers all around or just in the rear for clearance? the handling is much better right?

I have them just in the rear. The handling is much better, but I think its due to the extra width of the tires, not the fact the rears are stagged (6mm per side is not very much).

 

hey Mizeree_X

did u get the longer bolts 2 or just used the stock ones???? i want 2 put 5mm spacers on my 17x7 in the rear.........and with spacers, u never got any problems with anything??? because i hear lots of things that spacers r not that good and will damage bearings and other related parts 2 the wheel???

 

What tire size are you running Mizeree?

I don't know 100% sure with 18's, but for 17's I wouldn't go over 225 size tires with that offset.

Ok,

I am running 235/40/18 tires on the 18x8 rims. They came with the rims when I bought them so I didn't have much say in what size they were. With the 6mm spacers the rears just BARELY clear the strut housing, but there is no rubbing or anything because I have taken the wheels off after extended use and the inner sidewall has been fine. I am using the original studs. The guy at the tire store that I bought the spacers from told me that the wheels are safely secured as long as you can get at least 6 full revolutions out of the lug nuts, and I do (I get more like 7.5). If I were to move up to 10mm spacers (which puts the offset at +35, which is supposedly "perfect" for our cars), then I think I would have to get longer studs. I hope that helps.

 

ok Mizeree

thanx that cleared everything.......

 

Interesting info, thank you. I'll have to think about this one a bit.

 

so +38 on a 18x8 wheels wont rub ?

 

Not according to Mizeree's experience. If you're in doubt and want to play it safe, just go with a 225 width tire.

 

how about 18x8 with a +35 offset

 

Jeez, you guys are getting lazy. This is straight from the MAXFAQ on the main page:

Will 5 x 114 offset 18" x 8" rim fit on the Max?
Maximas support bolt pattern 5 x 114 and 18" X 8" rims. The offset should be in the 35-38mm range. Maybe you can fit less then 35mm but I'm not sure. Center bore was not mentioned but if the center bore is too small(smaller then 66.1 mm) the wheels will not fit onto your hubs. You might be able to get different hubcentric rings though.

This stuff is out there guys. Please do some research instead of just blindly asking questions and letting someone hand you the answer.

They're also pretty self evident...
common sense would tell you that if a 45mm offset wheel with a 10mm spacer (which changes the offset to 35, as previously stated in this thread), then a wheel with 35mm offset will fit too.
See how easy it is when you think about it for half a sec before posting?

 

im sorry guys dont hate me now i was just being lazy
