18x8 with 30mm offset

[VTAudiA4]

I just purchased some wheels with a 30mm offset (18x8). I searched to see how well they will fit but I found nothing specific. I found one thread on a 18x8.5 with that offset and people said it would rub. I have stock suspension and I am in the process of buying coilovers.

My question is, will the wheels rub? (on stock & lowered height)

you'll be fine... depends on the tire you wanna run though and how low you wanna be if you will rub at all or not

well, i was thinking either a 215 or 225 for the tires. As for the height....nothing crazy. Maybe lower it 1.5"-2" from stock non-sport height.

I'm not sure I agree with you. et30 is too far.

I have 18x8 et32 and have rubbed the WHEEL on the fender in the rear, and rub my 225/40/18s now and then up front when turning and hitting bumps.

Those wheels are farther out than they should be and I think you will rub tires, if not wheels if you go too low. Coilovers are a great idea as you may have to play with the height to avoid rubbing...

i have 18 x 8.5 in the rear with et25mm and i can even bring it out more. It also depends on tire brand. Falken runs narrow and kumho, yokohama run wider.

just roll the liner.. you can put a much smaller offset wheel and much bigger tire and slam it and you will still be fine.

IDK what your doing wrong king, but VTaudi if anything the front could possibly rub but prob wont on a 225 tire, the back shouldn't be an issue. I WAS running 18x8 at et32 with a 235/40 tire and didn't rub at all, and very very rare in the front, on H&R race springs. Right now I have a 7.5 at et18 in the rear which is 6mm FARTHER out than a 18x8 et30 and have zero rubbing issues with a 215 falken tire.

Im running 18x8.5 all the way around and I only rub in the front, and its only on large dips or when I turn the wheel all the way. But then again my car is pretty damn low.

Cool, thanks for all the help guys. I do appreciate it greatly. The only bad thing now is I have to way 5 months until spring arrives in VT to put my wheels on.
