+35 would be good for a 18X8.5. if you want a little more aggressive than +30 would be good too. the wheels would only rub in the rear tho, not the fronts, and thats only if your pretty low. im on pedders and i could fit a 10" wheel back there and not rub.

my wheels are +35 and i like the fitment. if you get wider wheels with the same offset theyl poke a little more. id say my wheels are pretty flush (not "hellaflush")

AyrtonSenna

they look nice. And you said you are on 18x8.5? Does it look like you may use +40 and be nice and flush?

245/40/18 on obv stock rims. Rubbed in the rear a little so I rolled the fenders. Going to order new tires and they will be 235/40/18 for the rear and 255/35/18 front. KDW2's now and forever, Love these tires.

AyrtonSenna

What are you lowered on?

80vetteL82

Wow! You fit 275s up front? I actually kind of like the look, kind of gives it a beefier look. How do they effect the handling though?


Sub'd for this spring when Ill be buying 4 new summer tires.

AyrtonSenna

Just thinking actually that I may get the CF5 in 18x9 instead of 18x8.5
When I've looked at them, I must had misread it because I could swear I saw them either in 18x8.5 or 18x10, but I've seen that they also come in 18x9. Probably they are better to fit 255s

my ideal setup on a cobalt would be 18x9+ 35 with 245/40/18. contact patch is very important too, you dont wanna be running 7.5" rims with huge ass tires you wont gain anything. also 18x8.5 +30 with 245's is a good setup too.

AyrtonSenna

Just right now I have stockers rims and tires with 15mm spacers in the front. They are nice and flush, and once I get the new rims and tires, I would like to get them with enough offset to keep the same flush but removing the spacers. I need to know if 18x9 +35 will be the equivalent of stockers plus 15mm spacers

bogalusahondakiller

What size 17 inch rim are you using? I have a set of 17x7 but I know that's to small

No, the equivalent of stock+15mm spacers is 18x9 +46 That size will put the inner edge 9/10ths of an inch closer to the strut than a stock wheel tire(no spacer)

18x8 +38 245/40-18 DStar specs (which run wide)



Only rubbed in rear with 3 people in car, and only over bumps. Pedders.

WannaBFast5

Yes fit them using a 5mm spacer. The handling kind of improved due to more meat on the ground.

highly unlikely with a 275 tire crammed onto a 7" wheel. that bitch is squirming all over the place. prbably takes a day and a half to turn in :rofl:

AyrtonSenna

Is that good not to rub?

AyrtonSenna

Damn!!!! 275s front and rear? Are you lowered? No rubbing?

WannaBFast5

No im being serious. I ran around on those for months.......no issues of rubbing or shaking. I think it handle a whole lot better then stock lol. Im even lowered on Sportlines. Trust me tho there is no room left once they are tucked in there lol.

He was talking to me. No just 275/40R17's up front with stock 18" tires on the rear. Lowered on Sportlines.

AyrtonSenna

Wow! I wonder if at this point, I can fit 265/30 on a 18x9

rims have become a pain in the ass to find in the size I want..

I want the OZ Allegeritas in 17" with a 255/35 or 255/40, 17x8 with 40mm offset, any clue what size spacer I will need?

l8r,
PD

AyrtonSenna

Well, after you install the rims, it is better because you can determine exactly what spacers you need. Get the rims first and then you see

09BlueBaltSS

agreed. The tires look like theyre ready to jump off the wheel. It looks great just not the safest thing to do.

WannaBFast5

Why play by the rules??? LOL I just keep the air pressure low......hell did more highway pulls on them then i did at the track...... ZERO issues. Even made a trip to dallas and back (3hrs) when i got tuned.

AyrtonSenna

So basically you're saying that on sportlines with 275/40-17 in front, you are far from rubbing?

WannaBFast5

What im saying. Also my first set was some BFG's...2nd set was Micky T's. The BFG's sat alil lower for some reason.

AyrtonSenna

That's great news, you're giving me hope about 265/30-18. The only thing is that I like the same rim/tire size in the rear as well

AyrtonSenna

I was just looking at the Toyo Proxes R1R. Damn they look like a very nice sticky tires. Anyone of you guys has them?
