 What is the proper offset for an 18X7.5 rim on the tC, I would like the wheels to sit a little closer the fenders say like 5-10mm. THanks again, these offsets always screw me up!

 It sounds great, I dont have headers or and intake so I dont know what it sounds like with those but with just the exhaust it is very throaty for a n/a 4 cyl.

 Look for the +45 area. You're not going to find many wheels with that offset, but that's what spacers are for

 18x7.5?
you can go et30 in front, et25 rear.
this is without rolling fenders using 225/40/18.
i had 18.7x5 et33 front, et28 rear. i was able to put a 5mm spacer front & rear without rubbing. i was dropped 2.5 inches.

 So the rims I want come in 18X7.5 and offer 48 43 and 35 mm offsets. What do you think? I used the offset calculator and I am not sure how much clearance there is stock between the strut housing and the wheel. Anyone know?

 Why are you getting a wider rim if you are putting a tire that would fit the same width rim as stock?...It's not going to look any wider but you'll spend more money. I had 225/75/14s on my truck and that was on a 7 inch rim.

Re: Is it possible to run 225 series tires on a 7 inch wheel?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ford used 225's on 7 on the Mustang for years, 15x7 and 16x7. I use Kumho 712's 225 year round. and 225 Ecsta to AutoX.
