Thanks!

I have Meisters sitting in my room right now.

19x9.5 +17
19x11 +10

I test fitted them and the fronts clear the calipers....barely lOl
If anything I was planning on trying Z1s 2.5mm spacer

Have you tried the rears yet? I like having my car pretty slammed but not going to keep it that way if I'm going to have to really stretch the tires. I have the akebonos, do you have the base brakes? I was told ill need at least a 3mm spacer to clear them.

I have a Nismo so no base brakes. The rears fit fine but stick out a little bit. Im lowered on Swifts but Ill be installing SPL rear camber arms & toe bolts soon.

Mine is a 2012 Base Coupe with no Nismo or sport fanciness.

I've got a lead on some Blizzak snow tires. The wheels are universal bolt pattern Drag Brand, DR-11, 18". My concern is the 4 tires that come on them are 235/50R18. Is that gonna cause some rubbing or other problems? I know the staggered size is ideal but these will probably be on for about 2 or 3 months of the year, and they don't need to be pretty. Worth the purchase or pass? thanks!

What are the offsets on the wheels? Most issues are people clearing brakes because of the design but with base brakes, almost any wheel clears. Most people run square setup for their winter set up with spacers in the rear to make it not look so weird. If you dont car how it looks, then spacers arent necessary.

SIZE: 18x7.5
BOLT PATTERNS: (4 x 100/114.3)(5 x 100/114.3)
OFFSET: 42mm / 45mm
LIP MEASUREMENT: 1.75"

My guess is the wheels will clear the base calipers, its the 235/50/18 tire with that tall sidewall that I'm worried will rub potentially. Any idea?

Sidewall is not a concern as long as youre at stock height. I think your bigger concern is clearing the brakes at that high of an offset with that skinny of a wheel. Nothing spacers couldnt fix though.

[Alrashwa]

Thanks a ton, I'll test one of them on the front before I buy, hopefully they clear.

Some people like to ice skate...

[Alrashwa]

Haven't bought it yet, but it's for snow anyway, skinny is better. Not going to do any autocross with blizzaks on

hope they are super cheap then.. cus otherwise byuing a set of stock 18's might be a better option for some snow tires...
