    Miro 111 18x8.5 et 35 or 45 all around??

    06-12-2012 08:45 PM #1
    I just want to know if it can fit with an 35 offset all around or 45 will be better for front?!? I would like to have the same fitment, front to back.

    Thx for help!

    Car is sitting on ST Suspension at lowest setting and I project to buy 215/40R18 and stretch it...

    215 on an 8.5" won't be a lot of stretch.

    Personally I'd run the ET35s all around, but the ET45 will be a very nice fit. Almost flush.

    You don't need a forum to tell you that ET35 is more "aggressive" than ET45...ET35 is going to stick out 10mm more than ET45 on each side, giving you a 20mm wider track..those numbers actually mean something, it's not some opinion type of thing.

    If your gas cap light comes on even if you think you tightened the cap, try pulling on the cap as you tighten it. Worked for me.

    I'm lower than that! That's why I'm wondering if et35 is too wide to fit easily without rubbing or I should go et45.... or, it simply depends on how wide the tire will be?!?

    Just do the ET35.

    Take the screw out of each front fender, roll the fenders and then hand pull them.

    You will be fine with 215/40s.
