Default Gram Lights 57 Maximums-Teh Clap???

18x8.5 with 235/40/18's

Will these fit my 07 Limited no problem?

And would you take these over O.Z Ultralegerra's?

The Clap himself has run these on the track:
18x8.5 +45mm Gram Light 57 Maximums with 265/35 A048s

If you're on stock suspension, you should be fine depending on how much tire you want to tuck. 265s may require fender mods/camber.

I'm 99% sure they will not require mods, but you should NOT take my word for it.

yup, those will fit nicely.

it's the same wheel I have.

I've got 265/35/18 Hankook RS2 Z212s on them right now for the street.

never had A048s on them as boony remembers, wish I did.

Sorry. I got it from this post:

17X9+ on 05 STI with what Offsets???? UPDATES -- T3h_Clap FTW!

Does this wheel/tire combo require fender mods for the OP's application?

damn, i've had these gramLights forever...

anyway, the OP's application will have zero issues on 90% of suspension setups.

especially if he stays with a 235/40/18 tire.

nope, you'll be good to go, as long as you keep a 235/40/18 tire on there.

once you finalize your suspension it may be possible to step to a wider tire.

i think it would.

Gunmetal looks good on almost all colors.

the gunblue has a very small hint of blue in certain lights, not much though.

That is good, because I think the UGM shows some hint of blue in certain lights as well. Thanks for all of your help. Responses were great and quick!!! Hopefully they are still available and I can complete the sale tonite!
