MS6 - 18 x 8.5 +38?

[High on PSI]

Hey guys, I'm sure there is a thread around but I needed an answer asap so I can go out and buy the new wheels!

I have my rear guards rolled on my 06 MS6, will the 18 x 8.5 +38 with 235/40/18 fit my car?
If it makes any difference... my car is from Australia

If anyone can source a thread link for me I'm more then happy to read through it.

Originally I was going with a +44 offset and I know that it's sure to fit but I'm wanting something more "hellaflush"

Thanks in advance!

bump..

EvoX wheels? Sure go for it.

[High on PSI]

Nah, Rota G-Force.
Are Evo X wheels the same size?

[m4tic]

yep... make sure you get a good fender roll

[High on PSI]

I can't find any examples of Evo X wheels on MS6's. Could you link me? Would greatly appreciate it!

Do alot of people have Evo X wheels on their MS6's?

[m4tic]

a couple... they are around, most likely in the aggressive fitment thread

So I got the Rota G-Forces 18x8.5 +38, 235/40/18 tires.

There's no scrubbing with a driver and a passenger, but when theres 2 people in the back it scrubs quite abit... I tore some of my edge / corner / sidewall off last night, does it ruin how the tire performs now?

I will definitely be getting my guards rolled before I install the Eibach springs

Im running a 18x8 with 37mm offset with 235/40/18s on my car, I had to roll mine and im running a stock suspension, I took a baseball bat and rolled the hell out of them and it did the job. I learn my lesson after going over some rail road tracks and took a little piece of meat out of my tire, you might as well roll them just for insurance purposes and if your going to lower it.

[High on PSI]

Hmm that's odd cause with only me in the car, it's near impossible to get it to scrub.

My tire is worn all around, on the corner of the sidewall.. it seems to have ripped some of the tread pattern off, do you think its going to affect my cornering and hard turning?

[m4tic]

Make sure you roll the fenders at the section that is directly behind the doors... On suspension compression the rear wheels arc toward the front side of the fenders, not straight up and down.. Because of the trailing arm

[Modelcsr08@yahoo.com]

It depends how bad it is, I couldn't tell you to be honest if you had a picture I could tell you, Im just about the only person who rides in my car and it still happened, I would go ahead and roll them fenders good cause otherwise in the near future when you get new tires they are going to get tore up because of that reason, and if you have insurance on the tires it wont get coved cause of that reason. Just rent a fender roller it will get the job done, you can rent one from streetunit, or you can use a baseball bat if your looking to not spend no money, also besure to have a heat gun so you dont crack your paint!

[High on PSI]

I'll be getting the full fender rolled, I can't rent from SU because I'm in Australia

The grooves circled in red have been torn off, and it has happened to about 3/4 of the tire.

[High on PSI]

To be exact, I took a photo.

[Brian MP5T]

That isn't that bad, but I bet it tore the shit out of the fender as well...

To run silly big tires you need to have a suspension that can adjust camber, or control links that can be adjusted in and suspension that can adjust camber.


You see how the tire is tucked in? The top of the rear tire fits because it is tilted (Camber) in

[High on PSI]

I don't have a silly big tire though, and nah it didn't tear the fender. Hopefully it doesn't happen anymore with my guards rolled

[superskaterxes]

horrible example brian, thats a widebody kit haha

[Brian MP5T]

True, but it gave me the chance to post up an awesome picture..

The Kit is only rated for a 235 wide tire... so in actuality the fact that he is running a wide wide tire... it's a bit the same as the OPs situation.

[High on PSI]

Just wondering if I need the front guards rolled? I'm getting the rear tomorrow and if I need to front done might aswell do it on the spot

[m4tic]

with proper negative camber up front (need adj balljoints) you'll be fine

[High on PSI]

This is it, lowered on Eibach springs.

One thing that is bothering me, when I was on stock height the front seemed to stick out more than the rear, now that it's lowered the front still stick out more than the rear. Is this a natural thing with our car?

[m4tic]

i think its an illusion from the uneven fender layout

[High on PSI]

It's not an illusion as I can actually see that it's poked out more at the front, it's noticeable.. BUT I think that it's slowly going away due to springs settling it?

[exftw]

hmmm i have those same exact rims with 235/40 tires... and my fenders are ROLLLLLLED saves lives wen ur slammed.... cant wait to install my coilovers lol.

[High on PSI]

Settled in now, cant be any more happy!

I think those wheels look awesome, aggressive as hell.

Sorry to bring up an old thread.

Have you got more pics of these wheel/car combo? I cant find anything on the net with 18 x 8.5 +38 offset.
