Help! Wheel fitment!
Hey guys I posted a month ago about my possible setup, I have purvhased the wheel and have adapters. So the wheels are xxr 553's with 18x8.75 with +36 offset all around on 225/40/18.
I have 20mm adapters for the front and 25mm for the back, do you think my front will clear the coilover from the inside wheel? Btw no rolled fenders yet, just want to make sure I can clear coilover in front before anything.
Thank you for any feedback.

I would just do the math and compare to your current clearance. If you have a 7.5" width wheel now, with a 38mm offset (the 6 spoke 17" stock wheel is that), then the change in offset is almost nothing so the new wheel will extend in and out equally by half of the width increase of your wheel/tire combo. So for the wheel, 8.75 less 7.5 is 1 1/4" half of which would be a tighter inboard fit. 5/8" tighter= 15mm inward from current rim (not tire). If you have this room already, you won't even need the spacer. 225 tires are no issue at all , and may not even stick out much farther than these rims(225mm is 8.8"). So with that offset, you won't need the spacers, though they will make the car look nicer!
