Aggressive Fitment Thread

[Jordannn1523]

I read through the first 20 pages or so and tried to use the search but didn’t find anything on the specific specs I would like to run.

Does anyone know if 18x10.5 +30 or +35 with 275 or 285/40 squared is possible? I figure the rear should be fine but how about the front? I want little to no fender gap and a flush fitment. If these specs would work, recommendations on lowering springs would be great as well. Thanks!

This depends on the 18's and if you have the 6 piston brembo's up front. An 18x10.5 +30 will fit with about -2 degrees of camber on all corners. Not sure is this would work with regular struts up front. I run coilovers ands they're not nearly as wide.

I was looking at Enkei RS05RR (https://enkei.com/shop/wheels/racingrevolution/rs05rr/) or Enkei NT03+M (https://enkei.com/shop/wheels/racing/nt03m/). I do not have brembo’s. Thanks for your input!

Would 18x9.5 +27 squared work better/fine with 285/40’s, stock struts and lowering springs?

Not familiar with those wheels on this platform. I'm pretty sure I've seen nt03's on our cars before but I don't know specs. The 18x9.5 +27 sits 9.4mm farther from the strut so it should have a better chance of fitting but I cant say from experience.

I've been lurking for a while. Looking for a new wheel setup but not too sure on where I want to go with it yet. Hell I don't even know my current wheel specs. 20x10 +35 Rotiform KPS, can't even tell you if they are squared. Running 295/30/20 rear and 275/35/20 michelin pilot sports Here's a video of mine. 2018 bagged gt bagged.

So I used https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/ and put in my stock specs (20x9 +40 265/35 squared) and then the specs I want to run (18x10.5 +30 285/40 squared) and it tells me that compared to stock this setup would be 9mm closer to the suspension and 29mm further out towards the fender. Seems like it should work based on those numbers, may need some camber?

Why the spacer if your running a staggered set up?

Rear spacers are coming off as soon as I get some open ended lugs. Turns out the tire tucks perfectly so I’m not in huge hurry.

My car has Steeda Comp springs with 2.75 degrees of negative camber on the front. This is a non-PP1 base GT. Note that regardless of the width of the wheel, I found that I need 6.95" back spacing in the front to keep the tires from rubbing on struts.

These are 18X10 w/42mm offset. I use 5mm spacers on the front for a net of 37mm offset. Tires are Nankang CR-s 275/40X18. Based on my 18" fitment, an 18X10.5 w/30mm offset would stick out .5" more in front and just under .75" in the rear. Ideally, I would want a wheel with more offset so they are more flush in the rear and then use spacers up front.

For grins I experimented with 25mm spacers up front to simulate an 11" wheel. The tires poke out a little but there was no tire/fender interference on the street or on an autox course. All of this works because of the modest drop provided by the Steeda springs and the increase in negative camber.

This wheel should fit. I would get camber/caster plates and have it aligned with at least -2.0 degrees of camber all around.

I think the enkei nt03 has 6.93” of backspacing so its very close. Thank you both for your input, really helpful!
