Not exactly the correct place to post, but I was trying to reach the fd audience. I just noticed the The Tire Rack is closing out their BBS RGR rims in the 18x9 +45 offset. Looks like they are going for $439ea.....reg. $720ea. Sweet deal.

 

damn good look out that is a sweet deal!

 

INterior/exterior/audio section and wheels/rims f/s section would be the right sections...

 

SNTP, do you even own a FD? pfft

Thank you, three sevens, for posting in THIS section as these wheels are the perfect offset for a FD. I wouldn't have seen it otherwise. Does anyone know how long these sort of deals usually last?

 

WaLieN, the close outs usually last until supplies are depleted, from my experience. I am going to call tomo. to see how many they have in stock.


Maybe SNTP didnt completely read my post and thinks that I was asking were to put this info. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

 

Did anyone notice how the 18x 8 are $700, the only wheel on closeout is the 18x9, hmmm makes me wonder....

 

I wish they had them in 18X10 with the correct offset, I would sell my first born for them.

 

picture??? im really lazy and at my mothers visting so i only have dialup... lol pitty me!!!

 

Any other offsets available? If they are only 18x9's id like to have around +25 front and +10 rear.

 

Hmm...closeout? Discontinued? I smell Spirit R wheels increasing in price...

 

They do, for the rear only.

 

any idea on weight on those?

 

I hope you don't want those offsets for your FD unless you're running some crazy widebody

 

Looks like the 18X9's are 19lbs. I just talked to Tire Rack and they said they have 15 RGR's in 18x9 in stock. Looks like the offset is +35 though. That's what they recommend for an FD in the RGR at 18x9 in the rear. I don't think much of that offset myself. I was going to pick up a set, but not too sure now.

 

could you run those all around ? ie use those in the front too? I don't know much about offsets and such, so was just wondering..

Thanks

 

+35s won't fit on the front or rear. Depending on your suspension setup, they will either rub against the fender, stick out, or both.

 

just looked at the tirerack site (HORRIBLE site btw if you just want to look up sizes/offsets/prices for no particular car), 18x9 +42 is 689 in diamond black and silver paint

 

^^If you look at the first post, this thread is not recent.

 

good call. for some reason alot of wheels are still on closeout though... weird.

RGR, SP1's are on sale in select sizes.

18x9 BBS RGR $369/ea. (regular: $720 ea.)
even cheaper now!

 

+35 will definitely fit the rear.

 

By sticking out, assuming the rear isn't dropped, yes. But will it fit nicely, w/o sticking out, or w/o rubbing (if you're dropped), NO.

 

I'm not shure what if any difference 18's would be but I have 17x9/+35R w/255's and there is no rubbing with my car lowered to 25.5". That's as low as I will go. I can clear parking stops, dips and driveways. 265's may need fender rolling but I haven't tried that size yet.

 

why would a 17,18,19x9+35 stick out in the rear?

even the holy bible of offsets spreadsheet says it wont.

and FWIW, a friend of mine runs 17x9+35 and his rear is dumped (24.25"), no rubbing.

 

You know what? You're absolutely right. I read too fast. I was thinking of a 9.5" or 10" rear wheel. My bad. A 9.5" is pushing it at +38 as it is...

 

aha. all good. BUT. hate to say, but 9.5+38 wouldnt be pushing it! i ran 9.5+40 with a 285/30/18 in the rear and had no rubbing probs :o
