18's x 8 +32 offset...will they fit!?!?! and what tires would you recommend
 
i was pondering if the 18's x 8 wheel with +32 offset will fit on the GD3 fit? If it does, what tires would you guys recommend??? btw they are the sportmax 504 wheels...

thanks

dang 18's....think those might to big but if you like them then i think 215-205/30-35 tire size would fit. you might be rubbing the inside, oh and i recomend not putting anyone in the back cause they will rub on bumps and dips.

Are you lowered? I think either way your going to rub.

They wont clear the front caliper without a spacer. The back is fine. And you'll need to stretch the hell out of the tire

why wouldnt they clear the caliper? they are a LOW offset and are big rims

I'm just saying because I test fitted some 17x8 with a 33 offset and I barely had enough room to stick a business card between the wheel and the caliper

solbrothers Jan 15, 2009 11:06 PM

how is that possible? just saying, that just doesnt add up

They fit. The rear quarter pannels need to be flared. The fronts fit fine. I'm running Toyo TR1's 205/35R18s.

The design of the spokes has more of an impact on whether or not a wheel clears the caliper.

Offset has very little to do with the fitment of the wheel dish over the caliper. Offset merely sets the relationship between the outer and inner wheel rim edges compared to the hub face.
The dish must be deep enough to clear the calipers. If the dish were flat there is no hope of clearing the caliper as calipers extend an inch or so further out than the hub face. There is a wide variety in the dish shape which is why even though the BC and offset are OK the wheel may not fit. The hub bore also must be matched as well.
And no; 32 mm offset is too much as well as the extra weight of 18" tires will stomp on your acceleration and mpg numbers.
If you are willing to do bodywork then you can go for it but be prepared for a drop even with such a tire as 205/35x18 even if it exists.
