18x8 rims

Will 18x8 rims rub w/ a +45 offset and 225/40/18s?
My car is lowered w/ tanabe super Hs and KYB AGX, so about a lil over 1 inch
Thanks

HELL YEAH!!!! Definitely you'll rub....I had 18x8 +44mm offset (yeah...it wasn't +45mm, but 1mm different is nothing), and 225/40R18 when I first bought the rims, the car was lowered with H&R springs and Koni yellows, I couldn't drive the car at all. Go get 225/35R18 tires instead, you might get away with rubbing like SADWAP who bought my rims and had no rubbing with 225/35R18 tires.

Man, it is so hard to find rims that have a high offset!

Only rims that do are volks, advans, real racing harts

why cant they offer more rims in a higher offset?

well my fenders are rolled but still I dont want to take any chances.........

Anyone know any info about the enkei bortex RPM2 wheel?


In the enkei site under N. America, it does not give any info of offsets and sizes

However, under Japan, the same rim is called enkei bortex Mll
which has the offsets and sizes listed..........
They do have an application for the prelude 18x7.5 w/ +50 offset

Now where can I find these rims?????
