yeah, that is a pretty strong set up, back in the days brought a lot of heated conversations to this thread, i dig it, HRE rims, Brembos, KWs, that is strong. I like it.

Hi motorers,

Would 18 X 7.5 with a 45 offset wheels would fit on a 1 inch lowered MCS?

Thanks for any help!

I'm running a 18X7.5 with a "42" offset running pirelli P Nero Zero's with H-sport springs (1 inch drop). I have no issues at all.

Thanks a lot PaulieKeys.

I am about to buy a set of RacingHart wheels and wasn't sure about fitting. I'll sleep better tonight lol

Tire size is 215-35-18. I know this size does fit, but I was not sure about the wheel size.

The wheels I bought have a lot of curb rash, so I'll need to get them repaired before installing them. But for the price I paid, it is still an awesome deal. I always dreamed about SSR Comp wheels, but those Racing Hart wheels are also very nice. I'll post pics as soon as I get them.
