I'm putting drag dr-34's which are 18x8 with 215/45/18 tires on in a week or two. I have h&r springs. Will I have any problems with rubbing???

Offset is 35mm which according to offset calculator means the wheels will stick out an additional 20mm which seems to be a lot.

 

i would put my money on yes in the front and no in the rear

 

I say the complete opposite of this

 

So I guess the only way to avoid this wouldto get my fenders rolled?

 

Do you think the offset difference will be enough since the offset is 45 compared to the stock 42 which means it will be tucked under a little more? Anyone have 18x8 wheels on h&r springs with 45 offset know the answer to whether it will rub or not?

 

maybe not since the tires will be stretched

 

Hopefully that's the case. Don't really wanna get my fenders rolled.

 

there all ready rolled or atleast mine were from the factory

 

you wont rub. lol. you shoulda got a lower offset tho, cuz it looks more cooler.

 

you wont rub at all...

 

i got 20 inch wheel with 205's with sportlines no rub!!!!!!!!!!!!! so u probly willnt

 

i have 18x8 and 225 which are fat 225s cause dws are chunky.....and im on teins which is a close drop i rub cause my intake is instaled worng youll be good with a little stetch but u wont rub on the top of the fenders lol it doesnt tuck

 

Alright thanks for the re assurance guys. First two posts scared me a little.


Lower offset would just mean they stick out a little further or are closer to deep dish style right?? You don't think dr=34's will look good? lol

 

btw I think a higher offset looks good on the cobalt. Not that I don't like lower offset wheels I feel like most of them have a big lip and the spokes usually are tucked in underneath this lip which makes the wheel look smaller opposed to going to the very tippy top of the lip which most higher offset wheels do making the wheel look bigger such as the stock 18" wheels which are 42 mm offset. Anyone agree? I would like someone to prove me wrong with pics.

 

Just used a wheel offset calculator. Says the outer edge of my rim with be extended outward an additional 10 mm with my new wheels.

 

a lower offset would give it a more flush or poking out appearance. its a more aggressive look. i dont like high offsets because it makes your wheels look smaller. i dont mind having chunky wheels. i think +35mm will look awesome on a balt, thats what i have with the wheels i ordered.

 

I have 235's on my stock SC wheels. Tires look massive from behind.

I do rub in the back a bit though.

 

Drag DR-34
18X8 5-110/11235SML Well I just found out the offset I got was 35. Different website said 45 but Discounttiredirect which is where I ordered from says 35. Think it will still clear?

wheel calculator says it will stick out an additional 20 mm from stock. That's over an inch.
