Post by SurfrmanX » Mon Jun 09, 2008 10:43 am

Hi i just recieve this weekend my enkei wheels, they are 18X8 with 48 offset, and the dont fit, im using Tein Coilovers, and i have read i go for max a 45 offset but i think eather the 45 offset dont fit, so i need to buy some spacers, eibach are good ones?
im planning 5mm front and 10mm rear its that ok?

Also its with out the tire how much the tire its gonna be out of the rim lip? its gonna be a 225/40/18

The brake caliper its free. good

Doesn't matter how much your wheel sticks out I don't think, as long as it doesn't rub. What really matters is if your bolts are going to hold up.

Yep, the 10mm eibach spacers i bougth they already comes with longer studs so i need to remove the hub and change the studs its a pain, but i must to do it, and im still waiting for my 225/40/18 tires, i hope they dont take out from the wheell because i wll need more 5mm spacers.
