They do fit!

It's really close to the front strut and the poke was more than predicted (read: eyeballed) but otherwise they don't seem to rub. Looks good too.

New wheels:



Strut clearance:

Doesn't look like a 245 would fit in there, would it? Does that mean fitting a 245 in stock setting would mean a maximum of 8" wide rim with 40 offset?

You could probably run a small 2mm spacer for peace of mind.

You should put a 5mm spacer in the front if you haven't already. I'm planning to install Enkei TSV 18x8.5 +38 and in the front the rim is really close to coilover since I already test fitted the wheels. My car is lowered on fully adjustable coilovers just trying to figure what size rear wheels to get since im running 275/35/18 with no issues on my stock rims

I'm thinking of getting Apex EC-7's 18x8.5 with 245/35 squared because I'm xdrive.

Stock suspension now but eventually will be on KW coilovers.

Should I go ET35 or ET45?
