ARD Please Help

Im looking at a few different wheels for the 03 season ...

Car is the 02 Pro5 with Eibachs....

The once im lookin at are the following:

18 x 7.5 with a +40 offset -- pcw

18 x 7.5 or 19 x 7 with a +45 offset -- arospeed

18 x 7.5 with a +43 offset -- 5zigen

18/19 x 7 with a +42 offset -- icon

What would the best combo be ? Im shootin for 19s ... im guessin the arospeed 19 will be the best bet?

Pe@ce

No i wont PM them since this could also be of use for others wanting wheels that dont exactly fit into the "recipe"

i dont think anything lower than a +48 will fit in a 18 or 19. i think that is in the recipe also. if you run 215/35s on a 7.5 inch wide 18, it must be +48 at least. my 18s are on the way, with a +48 offset, and I am dropped 2 inches, so will see this week.

Yea i know the x7 with the +45 fits the recipe... just wasnt sure with the 19 tho ... I dont know if the difference in tire sizes will make a difference.

As long as you can find a tire with a super low profile, and an outer diameter that isn't much bigger than 24" it should be ok.

Always try to do a test-fit when possible just to make sure.

That 19 might work. But the rest will not. Don't waste your time.

Peace, Rishie
