Have an opportunity to get a set 18x9.5 18x11+34. How should I expect these to fit in the rear? Gonna run 265/285. Thanks!

Front:
265 - 285 no problem. even 295 too but probably a little too much tires for the 9.5 rims.

Rear:
285 and 295 will be no problem for the rears.
I think 305 should fit as well.

I know the tires will fit I was asking about the offset in the rear.

I'm running a 19x11+33 with a 305/30 with no rubbing what's so ever idk if that helps

[m3aviator]

My apologies I guess I should have been more specific. +34 in the rear will fit flush in the rear or still need a spacer? Thanks!

Depends on your set up.

I know on KW v3/CS it definitely won't fit. x10.5+20 is already pretty flush and 295/35 will give you an occasional rub. I can't speak for yoru HR springs

x11+34 is 20.4mm closer to the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 7.7mm less than before

Thanks!

Are you talking about TE-37 SL? Was not aware they made an 18 x 11" et 34

[steven_s]

it's not. it's a fitment that was made to order for the f80

i think even with smaller linear springs swapped in the rear ala eibach or swift you'd still find it hard if not impossible to fit that. that's a full inch closer to the strut. we're talking 18s. 19s i think is doable.

Steven thanks for the save owe you a beer!

I have 315s in the rear with 33ET, fits flush. Also have some te37 sl's coming it with 315,s on as well so will see how that looks.

19s can run that set up.

And what are you lowered on.

Are you talking about a rub on the inner or outer side on the boldfaced setup? I can see how 11" et 34 might rub on the strut (inner), but I can't see how 10.5" et 20 would. On a 10.5" et 20 with a 295 tire, the concern would be rubbing on the fender (outer) depending on what tires you fit.

I am thinking an 18 x 11" et 34 with a 295/35-18 tire and a 5 mm spacer would be pretty dialed for both inner and outer clearances. Hmmm.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but does anyone have a link to where the 18 x 11" et 34 is available?

[steven_s]

Talking about the inner strut. If anything call on slicer, he's had and done it all. Maybe I'm mistaken.

He had x11 +25 and I believe that was already pushing it. +34 is making it 9mm closer to the strut.

The 18x11+34 is from Ben Sopra above.

Would +34 fit with a sleeve kit?

[m3aviator]

Bumping this thread. Will 18x11 +34 inner diameter clear the shock? Can a spacer be run to increase inner diameter without the outer being past the fender?

Thanks!

I had an 20x11 et 33 and it cleared everything ok with 315's, back to 18's now though.
