Hey guys,
I’ve done quite a bit of homework on wheel/tire fitment but I’d like to get some feedback from people who have more experience with this topic than I do.
Here’s the setup I’m looking to purchase:
18x9.5 with 22mm offset (Front) Tire: 265/35/18
18x10.5 with 22mm offset (Rear) Tire: 295/35/18
The front wheels, in the proposed setup, will move the wheel 2.3mm closer to the suspension, and 10.4 mm further out of the wheel well.
The rear wheels, in the proposed setup, will move the wheel 15.1mm closer to the suspension, and 23.1mm further out of the wheel well.
I know the factory setup is 275/40/17 with a 26mm offset, square.
Now, my question to everyone is this:
Would that particular setup work on my 03, that is lowered on Eibach Pro Springs without rolling the fenders, spacing, etc? Lower profile IRS bolts may be required, which is not a big deal as they are inexpensive and easy to install.
Any help/input/advice would be greatly appreciated.
I’ll attach a picture of the car to give an idea of wheel gap for lowering purposes as I do not know the exact inch drop.
