Curious if these would fit. I know when I had my 18 JCW finding wheels was hard because of the brakes. Ended up with some Racing Dynamics but a person on here is selling some nice OZ wheels
Front and Rear
- Size:
18x8 - Offset:
48mm - Backspacing:
6.46" - Bolt Pattern:
5-112
Pretty darn close, but one worry.
I'm running 17x8 RSe05 custom machined for the correct centerbore, and 225/45-17 Yokohama A052. Which works, but is tight,
My front end inner sidewall to strut clearance is 3mm, outer clearance is fine. Mind you I run camber plates and -2.1 of camber so outer clearance is helped.
Out back, inner sidewall to strut is OK, but inner fender liner to outside tread surface interfered about 1 mm at the 10 and 2 o'clock locations, which "self adjusted" in two days without drama.
Thing is, my 17x8 has 45mm of offset, and the rims you propose are 3mm more - which could mean that you would be out of space on the front end.
So probably 215s would be fine, but then why run 8" rims, as the 215 is well behaved on 7.5 or even 7" rims.
Just a caution.
Cheers,
Charlie
