18x8 50mm??? - Honda Prelude Forum

thepreludedude · 10-18-2007, 12:50 PM

Hi, I found a deal on volks but they are 18x7.5 50 offset and 18x8 50 offset. Will I have any problems running a 8 inch wheel in back? I will probably run either 215/40 or 225/35 tires. I have had 18x7.5 45 offset with 225/35 with very little rubbing and currently 215/35 on 18x7.5 45 offset slammed with no rubbing.

i'm pretty sure they'll hit the inner fender... blah. you'll rub the front a lot worse than the back unles you're staggering them like it looks hahahhaha

It depends on what size tire you run, and how low you plan to ride. IMO you can run 18x8 in the back no problem, just may need to roll a lil fender and trim the bumper to not rub.

if you use the calculator it says that the 8 +50 will only stick out 1mm further than your 7.5 +45 so you should be fine and im sure you have the 11mm to spare on the inside at least in the rear...

^thanks. i have seen tire calculators before but not a wheel calculator. very nice

ludehawk · 10-22-2007, 10:56 AM

it's stick out 1mm more, but how much further will that lip extend inside of the fender???
That's the problem.

Just as a reference I'm running 17x7.5 +43 and 17x8 +48 with 235/40/17 all around. No issues with rubbing.

I have 18x8 +44 offset with 215/35 with no problems

stev3 · 12-24-2007, 01:20 PM

you guys didn't have to roll the fender when running the 8" width?

Get spacers and ricer bag it. You'll be fine...

18x7.5, 225/40 stock height. only rubs if if my passenger is fat.

After reading these replies it seems that I won't rub with 17x8 +43 offset

FiLLuP · 05-13-2008, 07:31 PM

depends on your tire size

E-lude78 · 05-14-2008, 12:19 AM

What size tire? 215 or 225?
