Help With Tyre Size Fg- Work Wheels

[Seaton]

Hi guys, got my wheels today, work Kiwami,

Rear is a 18x9.5 + 38. Was going to get some NT05 on tomorrow.

Was going with a 275 35 18. I am scared f fitment. Wheel looks pretty flush to gaurd and I don't want to roll them. If I run a ruler on the face of the wheel it doesn't slip under the qtr.

I have seen guys run that exact size and offset in a Volk and Enkei wheel.

Please let me know what you think ASAP!

1. Props for going with quality wheels.

2. They will most likely scrub if it's lowered on big bumps.

Thanks Henz. I'm super stoked on the wheels. They are nice and light too.

Has SSLs. I can handle the odd scrub up in the wheel arch occasionally, just don't want it scraping on the qtr lip.

where did you buy them? not interested in 20"?

[Seaton]

20" not for me. They don't even make these in a 20".

Car will be seeing some circuit days and an 18 is the best for performance.

18" pride.<br /><br />My lensos are the same spec as yours running the same spec tyres and only scrubs with 5 people in car accelerating. SSSL rear. No guard work.

Thanks Tom! 18s all the way mate.

18s ftw

I have 18x9.5 all round 265 tyres... Juuust fit in the front

As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. I'm on the other end of the scale, wanting to bling 20" :D , from a distance my 18" FPV rims look like toy rims on this big boat of a car.

price of the kiwamis?

Another on 18s here still, enkei racing PF01s lightweight, 8.5 fronts and 9.5 rears, amazing the difference in weight!

And 18s definitely better for track :D
