hi,

im just off to the states today, and with the amazing dollar-pound rate i was planning on buying some new wheels for the car

i really like the look of the tenzo dc5 wheels but they are 18" x 8" - by searching this site it looks like 8" is too wide..

my car is completely stock and no lowering springs/coilovers etc.

hence, what different size of wheel should i be looking at - as long as it is 18"?

thanks guys

18x8 is fine depending on the offset. I was running 18x8 et38mm lowered by 30mm or so and no probs, just slight rubbing on compressions at high speed.

I am running 19" x 8" with 215/35/19 on the street.
No rubbing issues once i removed the rear guard extension joiners.
Oh & it's lowered 30mm.
