Default those with Volks....no rubbing issues with a 225 tire?.......

18x7.5 LE37's...I take it most are running 225/40/18? What is the offset ET on these? 32 iirc? I'm looking to swap out my Sportecs and don't mind going to a 7.5 width wheel...as long as I don;t rub. TIA

Default Volk le37 /w 225 kumho tires rubbed with tracksport at 25.25 ride height...

i had to roll fenders. You might not need to if ur ride height is around 25.5...My kumhos had pretty fat sidewalls

Default acutally...I like 18's on our cars...19's sometimes look weird...especially for Volks

i don't like how the Spokes abruptly cuve in more into the inside on the Lip with 19's. The 18's look right IMHO...like your car was =)

agreed, imo 18's are perfect...19's just a tad too big...although sonny's 19's are hot!

Default I'm at ~25.25 or slightly lower in the front and don't have rubbing...

there was one time where I hammered it through a fast right-hand turn and hit a dip. Drivers side tire rubbed slightly on the plastic liner about 3/8" away from the metal fender lip(stock, not rolled on my car) but thats the only time so far.

Mine are 18x7.5 ET30s with 225/40/18 Dunlop SP9Ks. Has really been a good wheel so far. See picposter for shots if interested.
