Many factors to consider.... - 5speed6 2008-05-16 18:52:01 (86 views)

Not following you why different wheel diameter would matter with rubbing. - SAR 2008-05-18 09:47:51 (23 views)

Because it affects whether the wheel sits further out from the hub, hence.. - 5speed6 2008-05-18 10:10:19 (26 views)

what were teh specs of the 18's you had? - 2.7tDallas 2008-05-16 19:55:15 (32 views)

They were 18 x 8 with an ET of 32. Tires were 235/40/18.. - 5speed6 2008-05-16 20:13:21 (51 views)

ahhh I see - 35 to 43 is better - 2.7tDallas 2008-05-16 20:15:08 (37 views)

currently running a 40 ET with the 19's with an 8.5" width. - 5speed6 2008-05-16 20:19:10 (33 views)

8.5"... roll the fenders, done son, at least I think - Raudi_6 akaDeutschMF 2008-05-16 21:18:20 (39 views)

I once had 20" wheels (I know bling-bling) and had no problems with rub, offset was my issue - Raudi_6 akaDeutschMF 2008-05-16 19:53:05 (50 views)

It's not only the offset, but the rims width as well that will make/solve a rubbing issue. - 5speed6 2008-05-16 20:23:12 (30 views)

So maybe 8" with 245s would be the key? - Raudi_6 akaDeutschMF 2008-05-16 21:00:40 (32 views)

and drop the profile down to 35, so it won't throw off the speedo. - 5speed6 2008-05-16 21:05:54 (32 views)

35 may be loooow, CAUTION: Wheel damage, but whats the speedo got to do with it - Raudi_6 akaDeutschMF 2008-05-16 21:10:04 (38 views)
