do i need spacer

[aronmatic2]

i will change my wheels to 8x18 bbs rc with 225 45 18 tires.
do i need any spacer?
i dont have much lowering springs.

My bbs are 18" 8.5 ET32 and 40 225 tyres.

The front arches had to be rolled, and theres not alot of room on the rears.
I would say no way on the front but it could be quite interesting on the rears?

Thats because you have 8.5J wheels James.

8x18 is fine on Coupe and Avant.

Aron we cant' answer your question unless we know the offset of the wheel?

If its 33-37 ET should be fine, 35 would be best.

You need 225/40/18 tyres. 225/45/18 wont fit.

i forgat the most important thing: et43
i mean 225 40 18

[Jamo]

I'd say 5-10mm spacers ideally

Ive got S6 wheels with 245/45/17 tyres.

Can feel a bit of rubbing sometimes when on full lock in carparks, but not sure if thats just the tyres scrubbing? The rears just touch the plastic bit inside the wheelarch, but nothing serious
