another question guys....18 inch wheels on a GP. is there alot of rub and stuff. i would like to get 18s but my mom who has practically the same car says i wont have any clearance and it would be hard to get into parking spots ect. is this true? i know people out there has 18s, do u guys have these problems?

youll be fine so long as the offset is anywhere from +45mm to +38mm and you dont run really wide tires (245/255s max).

ok, they are mille miglia evo 5s? i think they look sick as hell but didnt know if theyd fit. the offset is +40. 5x115. 225/40/18 kelly fierce tires. the dude wants 450 for all.

they will fit perfect. i would put bigger tires on them, but theyll work if you want to run the tires that are on them.

alright man. i saw u have 19s on your green gp right? did you have any rub when you put them on. or did you have to mess witht the suspension when you got them. i just dont want them to be all screwy when i try to make a sharpish turn u know? but thanks duudddee

I've got 255/50/17's on mine. They're 17X7.5 with a 40mm offset, I think. The rears rub a little bit with passengers in the back over bumps or when I'm cornering really hard on a bumpy road. Barely touches, though.

i had 19" mille miglia ev-s, similar to the evo5. i believe the offset was a little lower than the evo5's and they were an inch bigger. i ran 245/40/19 tires and rubbed on the fenders. once i rolled the fenders all around the car i never rubbed again. it takes an hour or two, a heat gun, and a mallet.
