Eager to hear as well. My preferred wheel would lead me to 18x9 +35 and at least 235/40. But I dunno about it, since I don't wanna run a bunch of camber in the front.

ET30 is going to stick out quite a bit, and 245s are going to look meaty on 8.5" This is 18x8.5 ET38 with 235/40.

Thanks, 38 is an option as well and I think I'll switch to that. Im hoping with a 35 profile they should be fairly flush, but guess we'll see.
Looking for some experienced help with this wheel size. I recently picked up a 2.5 Golf and would really like to run a set of Alzor 803 wheels. They are 17x8 et30.
The car is not lowered yet and it is my daily driver(I'm trying to stay w/ 17" dia to keep some meat) so it won't really get any lower than a 1.5" drop. How much fender rolling will I really need to do?

I’m poking around and I can’t believe the 803 isn’t available in a +45.
Yeah, I was also. I kept diving into running those and I think it'll just be more than I want to do on this daily driver right now. I did find some oem AMG wheels that might fit with less fender work but they were just the fronts from the staggered set(18x8.5 et35, if I remember correctly). Way more coin for the AMGs than what I can spend now with my truck needing new leaf packs before spring camping season.
Just sold my 3sdm 0.05 wheels that were 18x8.5 et42 with 225/40/R18 rubber. Im
Lowered about 2” on coils( won’t be able to adjust height after 5 years). The rims I want (previous year) are 18x8.5 et30. Can I get by without having to get camber adjustment? Or am I looking at major rubbing?
thanks,
Ron

You will still be sitting 1/4" farther poke than you are now. You'd have to go to something like 205s to get close to your current specs which I am assuming don't rub, which shouldn't be mounted on an 8.5" wheel and will be very stretched.
ok I found rim that is 18x8.5 +35 which might just work...
thanks for the input and planning on running 215 tire vs 225 this time around.

Hey guys, long time lurker. I have been doing research and I’m just going in circles. About to make the purchase on some Work emotions Dr9. The shop I’m getting them from will custom drill for the 5x112 bolt pattern. But before I drop the cash I want to make sure I’m straight on fitment. Currently stock suspension, looking to go air later in the summer. Would 18x8.5 et38 all around be an issue. I don’t mind a slight poke and stretch look. To add getting the wider seibon fenders.
