After doing a lot of searching I still have mixed idea's. (Read lot's of different thing's). I got Eibach pro springs and #4 pad's I think (will verify tomorrow) and want to know what I will have to do If I run

A. 18x8.5 (VI Reps) with 35 offset each on 225/40/18 tires.

or

B. 19x8.5 (Axis Milano's) (what offset should I be looking for/spacers?) on 225/35/19 tires.

Will either set up look stupid and how will I fix that (I.E. Different pads etc.) Looking for easy but would love to do the Milano's as they look so damn good.

Thank you for reply's and sorry about Another Thread I usually do an insane amount of research, but since I'm trying to get all my stuff ASAP as I don't have my car back until I get this all done I need quick and correct answer's.

Well can I at least get a yes or no that my assumption that 225/35 tires on 19 inch rims with a 35mm offset would sit with little rolling on eibach springs? What is the best offset for the rear? 35 for the front correct?

This Thread is probably your best resource to find the answers you are looking:

225 tires fit should be ok on your car. It really depends on your wheel setup. I'm running 225/40/18 on an 18x8 rim ET31 and it rubs even though my fender is rolled. I would read over the above Thread as it explains every factor to consider. How muc lower is your car with the Eibachs?

edit: Try using a more informative Title in the Thread. A Thread titled: "I want my car back" probably will not get much attention.

edit2: Maybe try and contact certain Members with the above setups you are consdiering using. They would have the most information, and could help clear things.

Don't know thats why I was searching alot and didn't really want to make my own assumptions. The car is currently at the shop awaiting the Eibachs to get the differential and everything to the left of it replaced.

Thanks for the link I never came across that one. I guess I jsut got confused why some people have rubbing issues and others don't I know theres alot of factors but I guess I was hopeful for a easy answer.

My car should still sit pretty high as a lot of people commented on how high it was for a sport edition.

Alot of people would want an easy answer. Too bad it is never that easy. The same car with identical setups may have differences in their rubbing issues. I know of many people who are using 225/40/18 up front and have no rubbing, but mine with the same setup does. :confused:

Your car will not have any rubbing issues with 18x8.5 225/40/18 - offset 35mm & Eibach springs.

I have 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 wheels

They are offset 40mm with 5 mm spacers=35mm offset (ideal)

rubber= 225/35/19 front

265/30/19 rear

on full lock turn it will rub a tad, the rear rubbed so we took a dremel to it. It only rubbed on the driver rear side.

oh yeah, i run H&R springs and the rear tucks with a full tank

But now I have c32 brakes and, SL rear rotors so the offsets are all looney. lol
