Aftermarket 18's, Stock Tires?
 

Does anyone have aftermarket wheels (18's) with stock tires (18's). If so can you please post pictures. Curious to see how they will look. Dont want to spend money on new tires so I want to use my stock non sport yokohamas but I want an aftermarket wheel look. Thanks

Racing Hart CP-F Tune R
18x9.5 Front / 18x10.5 Rear
These particular wheels are discontinued, but the pics might help.

On the tires I moved the rears (non-sport Yoko's same as you) to the front and put some wider rubber on the back.

Those look really good!!!!!! Only question I have is did those wheels rub the calipers and require spacers. Reason I am asking is because I want a lip on my new wheels but the calipers are close to the stock wheels already. Do you remember the offsets those are or what offsets I should look for? Any suggestions when I go to shop would be appreciated. Thanks


LOL. One more question. If the wheels I find are 18x8.5 and 19x9.5 will the stock tires stretch or is that a bad thing and I need t o stay away from it. For example, would these wheels work?

Those Wheels look good.

According to Yokohama's website the rim width should be between 6.0-8.0 on the front and 7.5-9.0 on the rear for the stock tires.

With that set set of wheels you'd be just a half inch wider than manufacturer recommendation, which from my experiecnce you can get away with no problem.

I suppose a tire shop might check the specs and give you some pushback over possible liability but most don't and won't.

I'd go for it!

Forgot to answer the first question...

No caliper rub/no spacers here. It's all about getting the offset right. I believe the stock offset specs are on the site here somewhere, once you have that it's just a matter of adjusting for the 1/2" wider wheels and whether or not you want to move your wheel/tire out a little bit to be flush with the fender, which I personally think looks way better than stock.

Good luck!
