225/60/16 tires on a 16x7j rim, will it fit ok? Options

[Goonter]

ok this used to be my old thread for my rims questions thats why theres replies and what not already.. i just edited it so that i wouldnt have to post a new thread and get flame for it. anyway i saw rims that are 18x7.5 with a 48 mm offset. now how sunk in are we talking about here?.. 48 seems so HUGE. opinions?

ok so as stated in the title.. will it fit the rim? would it have trouble holding air if it did fit?. will i have enough room in my wheel well and strut housing clearance? last but not least. will it look like A$$~?

Goonter i would run 25mm spacers. But thats just me and want it that extra bit aggressive.

hmm would that mean that i have to get extended studs?.. 25mm seems giant to me lol. but i would do it if extended studs doesnt pose any safety problems like would it be weaker than the original studs?

make the overall offset as close to +10ish........well for my taste atleast


16x7 with a 38mm offset and a 72.62mm hub bore
even if you got 54.1mm spacers you'd still need hubcentric rings that you'll place in the rim. other wise all the stress will be on your studs (big no no). That will cause some damage over time. I recently sold a set of hubcentric rings my f/s thread to Samir. He got deals too. I mean you dont have to get the hubcentric rings, but you're trying to flush your wheels and you should know the added stress.

yah i know what you're 808 .. i already found a set of 54.1/72.62 hub centric rings though so i guess 10+ for flush?.. would i need to roll the fenders for a 10 mm offset?
