As the title really. Anyone got 8x18s fitted to an R53? Did they go on without too much hassle and will it still allow a reasonable drop? Looking for some nice fat rimmage. 17's look too small for me and 7's just dont offer the girth i'm looking for.

Cheers!

i just ordered home 18x8 for my r53 ill keep u posted when they come in...

btw anyone recommend a tire size for those...i was looking into 225/35 18

 

i say go for 215/35 for r53...

 

there is a whole thread on this subject with lots of info to help you guys out ... need a little digging though. I ran 225/35 on my 18x8 and it was perfect... not too much meat and not too little. BTW, it is the closest size to stock profile, so your odometer will not vary. and yes, mine is lowered on springs and no rubbing

 

sweet, well then i guess im gonna get 225/35 then
btw what was the offset you were running, and what springs?

 

et 40 and H&R springs
