if its 18x7.5 your going to rub.... i had a set 18x7.5 with 45 offset i was rudding on the strut.. i need to get a 2mm spacer so that it would sit out more to keep the rims from rubbing...

anything with 7.5 width you should get like 42 or better then 40.. it would flush most...

p.s: those motegri rims have too many holes, you should get a five hole with the right offset instead because if you put that universal fit wheel on your ride, it makes too much stress on the bolts and it could possibly come off while you are driving.

WTF are you talking about? I have never heard of universals putting too much stress on the lugs. They still bolt on just as well.

The only thing that I'm aware of that increases stress on the lugs is the use of spacers which makes the amount of threads the lug can tighten on less and could possible result in them coming off. Thats it

Yeah spacers if too big, like over 4mm, could screw you up. Universal fit has no problem, since you're using the holes that are the size of your lug when you install them, leaving the other optional size holes unused.

that's the first time i have heard that. Is there proof of that occurance??

Absolutely NO spacers if performance is your primary goal. Why is this is that it will put too much stress on the wheel bearing, making the wheel impossible to balance perfectly. In addition, you're sticking the wheel more to the outside. Sorry to say, not only you'll never be able to do fast turning, but you're going to risk scratching those precious rims.

Plus you're doing it backwards. Tires first, then wheels.
