I have 18s and a 2" drop and have no trouble turning my wheel. Just get the correct offset, and you will be good. :)

read Rishie's fitment guide.


On the sticky

18x7.5's with a +45 offset and 215/35/18 tires but no drop, yet

so theres no rubbing at all when turning... cause thats my biggest concern

no rubbing at all:D

I just got some 18's on my MP5 on Friday and I regret it just because It keeps rubbing in the back like crazy. I think i'm going back today and getting some 17's. Every little bump and you hear the back end rubbing and I was thinking about dropping the car. But I guess not!!

kre8, what width are your 18's and what is the offset?

Hey natedizzle,

They were 225/40/R18 but I was looking up other threads and came across Rishie's guide and I took them back and got some 215/35/R18 put on now. Now they are working great truthfully on the offset I really don't know How can I find that out.

kre8, if you tell me what type of wheels they are i can probably find out for you, peace.
