Rear wheels how wide can I go

**Vaderboyo** · 31st October 2014, 01:32

Just thinking ahead, car about to have 45mm springs, how wide can I go on the back running 18"? Is 9 pushing it?

Cheers

I'm running 20x9 all round. It all comes down to off set. My wheels are et35 and still has plenty of room at the rear, it's the fronts that will give you issues.

Stretch tyres ftw

You don't necessarily have to go wide, to fill the arches. Just get a custom offset. I have 8x20" on mine but with a custom offset and they fill the arches no probs. Plus, with the smaller width comes a better choice (and cheaper) of tyres. Plus, you'll never have to worry about arch fouling on the front.
