18x8.5 w/ a 38mm offset ok with an N/A? - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

THE Phreak · 08-21-2008, 05:17 PM

I saw some Enkei LX-M's I'm down to get but I was just wondering if they're ok with fitment..

Would they fit ok? Is the tire width too wide?

Also are 18x7.5's too small?

On and NA id have to go with 100%.

They will fit almost definitely, and you didn't list a tire width, but I'm pretty much 100% sure you couldn't fit a wide enough tire on an 7.5" wheel that would rub anywhere. This is assuming you keep close to the same overall tire diameter as stock.

JasonY · 08-21-2008, 05:25 PM

Haha, they should fit fine, the NA's are very forgiving, looking at the wheels they may even fit a TT too with that offset.

Yes, 7.5" is too small, period.

My current ones are armed with low proflies, I was thinking of getting another set.

here's the big question: Does anyone know of any well known vendors where they would sell these? I'm gona look locally too.

If you are talking about low profile tires, go to tire rack, or discount tire. Either one will have whatever size, and shipping is only about 3 days. No local shops can compare to their prices

Are we talking about the wheels or the tires? If you mean the tires Tire Rack has them. If your talking about wheels try vivid racing, they even carry Fikse and BBS, they have tons of wheel choices.

Edit vividracing only has them in like 20", If you call they will get you your size and offset/bolt pattern.
