I didn't use spacers the wheels are 18x8 et40 :surprised: with 225/40/18 falken tyres which i know is a high offset.
I know the highest offset should be ET42 but i thought i would go for it, since i liked the wheels so much.

if you go any lower youl have big issues then, esp on the front, i had to get my arches done and mine still scrub.

but as the saying goes, "if you aint scrubbing, you aint dubbing" :signLOL:

Post by: scarpicus on March 18, 2009, 09:12:09 pm: yeah i know joesgti thats my problem, i want to go lower but i know i will have to get arches done as i have scrubed all ready on big dips if i'm driving fast.
How much did you pay to get your arches done?
