I might be planning on buying a set of Volk Racing GTN Rims.
Here are the specs:
18x7.5
37mm offset
215/40/18 tires
My question is. Will this rim size be a problem for daily driving? Also using a rim with a 37mm offset safe/any good? Anyone who can help a fellow member out your replies will be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance.

it should work, but 215's will look like bicyle tires. go w/ at least 235's if not 245's.

 

245's are great. I have 245/45/17 on my stock rims they will be great on your 7.5's. Go for Dunlop SP5000 or Bridgestone S03 Pole Position's. Falcon ZIEX suck.

 

MAXRAY & 20th maxstyle: Thanx for your replies.

Yes i was planning on swapping out the tires for either 235's or 245's. Beside the size of the rim and tires. Will running a aftermarket wheel that has an offset of 37mm be a problem? Rims experts i need your help?....

 

anyone?....

 

235/40/18 is out of spec for a 7.5" wide rim. I would check the FAQ about rim/tire sizes before you make that decision...

 

The ride on the tires you have selected may be rough and the likelyhood that you will bend a wheel is high. Try stepping up to 225 or 235.

 

mpc578 & T-bone: Thanx for your info about the tires.

My question is,will it be safe to run an aftermarket wheel that has an offset of 37mm?

 

Anyone?????......

 

37 offset is fine. Ive got 8 inch wide wheels with a 40 offset. With a 7.5 wide you could easily go with a 35 offset.

 

Thanx for the helpful info freeze2k2
