18x8.5" Wheels with RCE Springs

UgotSmoked · 12-10-2006, 12:19 PM

I was wondering if anyone that has 18x8.5" Wheels with RCE Springs has had any rubbing issues or problems of that sort. I am wrapping them with either 235/40-18 or 245/35-18 Falken tires.

I ran 18x8.5 on my 04 STI with the RCE springs and 245/35-18.....No rubbing with 48mm offset.

You'll have plenty of clearance. you could probably get away with a 245/45 even, although i think a 40 or 35 would be better.

Would 18x8.5 +42/43 with 245-35-18's work with RCE springs on an '06?
