Default Any probs w/ 8.5 +45 up front?

Yes i hate random fitment threads too. I searched and this isnt exactly tuner central.

Any problems hitting fenders running a 8.5 +45 up front with -1.5 camber? Stock 235/40-18 tire size. I know 50-52mm seems to be the preferred offset.

Thank you in advance!

987.2 = best car porsche ever made.

I don't think it will work. My calculations show the outer edge of the rim moving outward about 3/4" compared to a std 8" wide rim with an offset of 57mm.

It will fit. You can run a 9.0 et44 with 2.0 degrees of camber. We have put many 8.5/44 wheel on these cars.

9.0/44 with a 245 tire on it. This car had 2.0 degrees of negative camber, but there is plenty of room even with the car lowered as shown.
