Posted this on the other thread re: NM springs:
Anyone try these on 18" wheels with 225/50 tires (as opposed to 225/45)? I don't mind how high the R60 sits on stock tires and springs, but do not like the excessive gap between the top of the tire and bottom of the wheel well.
Was thinking of getting 225/50 tires instead of 225/45, and maybe lowering it slightly with aftermarket springs. But I am afraid the combo might be overkill and put the well too close to the tire. Thoughts?

Hey there,
I have a set of 19" installed with my NM springs with the following configuration:
19 x 8.5 +45
225/40
Works fine with me. Note that 225/40 is an odd size for 19" tires so you may have less options of tires.
In my opinion, 8.5 +45 is the maximum offset you can have, +35 is a strict no.
If you use this calculater, you can see how far off your new wheels will be compared to the current set-up. http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp
Here's a photo! I hope I can go even lower~

Your car look pretty sharp!
Could you take a picture of the space between the tire to the shock? My CMS will arrive next month and I plan on getting the lower springs and same set of wheels, those are V710? but with 235/40/19 tires, so wondering if there are any room left for wider tires
how much does each wheel weight?
Tks
