Question about wheel/tire fitment.

Hello,

I am looking at a set of wheels and was wondering would 18 x 7.5 wheels rub if I use tires that are sized 215/35, would I need turn stoppers, as I know the 18" JCW wheels need them if i'm not mistaken. Car is riding on the stock suspension. Also would rims with a 40 offset work with a MCS March 2006 build date? Thanks.

Yes, your wheel and tire combo will work great. No issue's and no need for the turn stoppers like the JCW.

Good luck and post some pictures once you have them installed

I have that same set up, 215/35/18's with 18x 7.5 wheels with a 42mm off set. No rubbing or turning issues at all.

No stoppers or spacers necessary with that fitment, especially at stock ride height. Even with a modest drop, you should be golden.
