18x8.75 5x100 +35mm offset - will it fit?

Postby Kody.B » Wed Sep 26, 2012 10:45 am

Hi all,

Am getting quotes for wheels I want and I think I've found the ones.
I'm ordering online as I can't source any from dealers around me, so I thought I'd double check the fitment.
The car is standard height and I'm thinking 5x100 18x8.75 +35mm offset XXR 530's.

If anyone could confirm, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks

What tyre width?

They will fit with f & r negative camber and rolled rear guards.

If you dont run neg camber, they'll sit outside the guards.

I think my tire guy is going 235's to stretch it slightly.
So the guards will definitely need to be rolled?

Rears yes, fronts no.

Negative camber is your friend.

I do love some negative camber but if it ruins the ride and wears out tires I'd just get the fronts rolled too.
It is standard height (not lowered at all) so it may be alright.
Is there any offset difference between pre and post facelift?

Standard height is only temporary depending on funds :) rear springs have sagged slightly so I could go really bogan and just get lowered fronts XD

Well I've ordered them and my mate at Goodyear has the tires ordered.
I will be fitting them when I have enough disposable cash to roll the guards if I need too (mainly for flare so they're not poking from the guards ridiculously).
Hopefully everything goes smoothly, I almost bought 7.5's instead of the 8.75 but after seeing Starrn I just had to go 8.75's. It's only money and I'm only young :)
