Hi team

 

Anyone have experience of fitting a 18” x 8.5” +35 offset wheel to their RS230 using stock tyre size? (225/40/18). 
 

willtheyfit.com tells me there will be 28.7mm more poke. 
 

Hoping they will fit without rubbing. Car will be lowered a some point. 

Is the car a facelift or pre facelift?

 

The facelift has a 38mm wider rear track and can just about manage 8.5j et45. . So et35 on a PFL should be fine.

 

225/40 on an 8.5j is probably on the limit or just over the limit of the manufacturers reccomendations depending on brand of tyres. .

 

Rubbing shouldn't be an issue unless you go really low ( on a PFL it might not be an issue at all)

I have a MY17 RS230 facelift. I thought the wider track was for RS245?

You may be correct. . . I'm not 100% sure myself

 

I have this which I found on here a while ago when I was doing some wheel calculations for my 245.
