Can someone please help - what offset 18" 8.5/9.5?

[M@r]{]

Can someone please give us some advice?  As you have no doubt seen im am arranging a groupbuy on Ultralite Alloys.  But there seems to be quite a lot of uncertainty about what size offset to order.   :3Confused

The wheels are 18x8.5 on the front and 18x9.5 on the rear.  

The choice for the front is either ET30 or ET36 - so what is best for a 18x8.5 on the front?

The choice for the rear is either ET20 or ET35 - so what is best for a 18x9.5 on the rear?  Im pretty sure that is ET35?

Also, what size tyres do you think we should go for?  Front/Rear 235/265?  Or 225/255?

Will a 235 on the front rub?

Anyone who can finally help us make the right decision would be a star!

36 on the front

35 on the rear

I\'m afraid I don\'t know about the tyres.

My tyres at the moment are 235/265 f/r on 18" rims they do not rub. HTH.

Thanks John

Do you know what width and offset the front wheel is?

My tyres at the moment are 235/265 f/r on 18" rims they do not rub. HTH.

I think the rear will be tight even with a 35 offset on the rear, maybe someone running with this offset can tell you it\'ll be ok?

I think the widths will look best with a 225 & 255 combo, plus it\'ll help ensure the rear fits under the arch.

so 275\'s are a definate no then??

[richard cash]

scrap that, it looks like there just isnt enough room under there.

i run et 37 front 9j and 225/40/18 and et 37 rear 9.5j 275/35/18 and the arches have not been rolled...perfect...

[richard cash]

oh, on //www.rx7club.com they recon theres physically not enough room under there but if your running those tyres then it must be ok. You get no rubbing at all on full lock?? got any pics??

[rxv8]
