I have 15mm spacers installed on the rear as well. The tires on the alloys in question are 225/45/18.
Many thanks  |
You should be fine in terms of brake clearance unless the spokes have a weird design. The offset is comparable to our 18x8.5 ET35 wheels and shouldn't be a concern either. The tires however are a bit too tall. Generally, I recommend a 225/40-18 rather than a 225/45-18. The extra height might cause some rubbing issues on the fender side along with speedometer error.
If you ran these wheels you would want to remove your 15mm spacers.
