I want to put some 18x8 +35mm w/ 215/35/18 tires.

I have bc coilovers, and I have 17x7 +42mm wheels rigth now. The front rub on the coilovers, I had to put 6mm spacers just to clear the strut.

I gues my question is will I have fitment issues/rubbing with the 18's?

From what I hear the 18x8 will stick out a little, anybody know how it will actually stick out?

These are the rims

Thanks

I am running 18x7.5 35 offset and 225/40/18 tires. I had to roll the 1/4 panels and dial in some negitive camber, but they fit.

215s will be way too narrow for the 8" wheel. The 225/40s I have are exactly the same diameter as the stock SRT tires (25.1"). A 235/40/18 (25.4") would be a better choice IMO.

These are (crappy) pics of the wheels right after I mounted them but before we added some camber.
