FAO Budgie, Wiley & other running 9.5s
Hey guys just wondering what offsets your wheels are? I'm lookingg at a set of 18x9.5s for mine, but the offset is 35, which I think may be a bit too low.
Any ideas how much work they'll be to fit?
Thanks
Rey
P.S. Don't worry I'm not getting Grids

Sounds promising!! Do you have any pics? I'm currently running 18x8 with a 225/40/18, ET35 and the rear tyres are kissing the lips more than a badman from peckham.

Hi Rey
I am using ET30 on the rear and 38 on the front
Hope that helps
Feel free to come over and test fit if you want

Thanks budgie, what tyre sizes are you running? Are you arches rolled or flared? And also have you had to run a high negative camber?

ET38 all round for me, although i'm running a bit stretched at 225/35/18
i (garage)cut my arch lips (sounds gay lol) as close the outer panel/wing, and didnt rub much tbh
only when i dropped it another 2-3 inches then it had a bit of rub.
these are my future wheels hopefully. works emotion xd9s 18 x 10

Hah in which case I'm the quickest, currently running an 8! Lol
I'm not going to mention what wheels I'm getting, just in case it all falls through. I'll have the wheels by this week, but will need to save up for tyres and arch rolling. Turbo fitting and remap have been put on hold for now
