Default Why is it so difficult to determine 18" wheel fitment for my .1RS

I've been searching the forum and even the entire intarw3b for the correct sizes inc offsets and just not hitting on definitive info. I just want something for some DOT tires for track days. Would prefer something that bolts right on over my PCCBs.

Thanks for the brand recommendation but what I am trying to determine is the width and offset that I need to even begin shopping.

Great thanks. I'm going to keep my eyes open for a used set to come along but not sure how rare the direct fitment over PCCBs is.

We do run a bit different offset on the 18x9/18x12 combo for the .1 RS than the one listed above. If you do not have any luck with used, give me a call, I would be happy to help.

Your fronts look more aggressive than a 51...do you run a spacer? Mine are 9 ET42 and they don't look as aggressive.


OP: As far as fitments go, get a 9" wide front with anything between 45 and 50 offset and 12" rears with a 41 to 51 offset.

Thank you sir. This is exactly what I keep coming across. I never find the definitive answer. I guess it depends on tire choice and some other factors but I would like to know what setup is going to put the tires pretty much where the stock tires are. I don't want to change the look of the car and I certainly don't want to get into any issues with rubbing etc.

I read your earlier post and saw your site and it seems you have a great business philosophy that I could get on board with. I just would almost prefer to not start out with a perfect set of wheels so I don't have to be worried about them and can enjoy them as just a set of track wheels.

Good eye. 51 at 9" will be close to stock look (I think offsets confuse me) my front end is pushed out a bit with cup lower inner mono *****. I can't recall exactly what but about 5-10mm. My oem wheels which are 8.5/53 are just slightly less agressive looking. No spacers on front. I run the stock 5mm on rear.

Op finspeed are great wheels. They will set you up right. My offsets are actually pretty close to stock look. A lower number on offset will push the wheels closer to outer fender. The measurement is in mm.
Front: 8.5x19 et 53
Rear: 12x19 et 51

PJS just to be clear ... Jongbloed will sell 2 sets of wheels for $3K?
Or is this your resale price?
Just asking?

My sell price for my wheels that are Jongbloed brand and includes shipping
I paid $4k per set new
I just need to make room
I sold a set of champion wheels recently and it was liberating freeing up the space
I will not be using these any longer - they are boxed and ready

Are these Jongbloeds appropriate for a street driven car? These wheels will get me to/from track events at up to 6-7 hr drive for VIR or the Glen. I know some hard core racing wheels are not a good choice fir the street.
