Wheel sizes????

[Jono FD3]

A mate is looking at ordering a set of 18" rims for his rex (FD) what size  should he get???

I was thinking: 18" x 8j for the front and 18" x 9j for the rear but what offset.... +50mm for both front & rear or should they be different offset front & rear aswell???

He\'s running a small single turbo setup aswell so it\'s suposed to be pushing around 330 @ wheels according to the guy who imported it for him (he only picked it up lastnight!!!)

Thanks

i\'d say 8" is too narrow. go for 8.5" front and 9 or 9.5 back, with 225 and 255 tyres at least.  my offset is +35 i think and because the car is so low i had to get the arches rolled but they are filled really nicely.

Cheers Raw...... any chance you could check the offset for me as he would like to order them this week!!!

yep-def 35 although i don\'t know if this is the optimum offset. looks a lot better than standard though!
