Any thoughts on if this wheel would fit without interference or having to roll fenders? 18x9.5 +34, stock 2014 suspension, would put on 245/40R18 tires.

Have you entered your info in http://www.willtheyfit.com/ yet? That should give you a general idea of the difference in size and then can estimate if you might have any clearance issues. Of course, the only way to know for absolutely sure is to put a wheel on the car.

Yeah, already looked there...like you said, it's fine for a theoretical look, but doesn't confirm for me like people on here would. ;)

 

Anyways, I think these might be a *little* too big, after going back through the thread and seeing other wheels with the same basic specs. I don't want to roll fenders or have to put excessive camber to make it work.

That looks a lot like the specs of another memeber with a white 2013. Go back a few posts and read his specs.

Punching in those #'s in comparison to my setup 255-35-19 you're definitely going to need to pull your front fenders I can tell you that if on lowering springs (i had teins in the pics)You'll sit about 8mm more out and the inset to the strut will be 5mm closer. Here's a pic for reference...I'd suggest coils. :Dhttp://i991.photobucket.com/albums/af38/stu-nami/20130717_183130_zps72c2f496.jpg

Compared to how much for a similar 18" wheel? 600? How much money does moving up 1 inch cost?

 

That's what I'm trying to find out.

 

I found some niche targa rims 19x8.5 with 225/40r19 for about 1700 with TPMS included...that's what I'm shooting for next week

Interesting tidbit since I posted that two years ago: I ended up buying a set of WedsSport TC105Ns in 18x8.5. I'm mostly content with them. They look great, fit great, and I was able to mount my existing tires which my wife was happy about. They're a quality, light weight wheel that was in my budget.

I am considering the tc105n in 17x9 +35 to clear brembos, but fear how much my tires will stick out.

 

I think I will get some 10mm spacers and see how things go with my +45 offset.

 

That is a fantastic wheel at its price range, but I may have already made that comment when you first posted pictures of your wheels :p

I think +45 for this wheel would be ideal (in terms of OEM fender fitment without pull/roll and rubbing). +35 would be 11.4mm more poke than MB1s 19s setup which to me seem the perfect fit and OEM limit for offset.

This is a candidate should I get stupid, but I will need a bit more power to justify. We shall see how I do in the next few months with my current power/brake scenario. 18x9.5 +45. I will sent them cutout pdf of BBK to test once I make up my mind. It already clears the "budget Brembos".

I really like the SA72Rs. I've thought about potentially picking up a set, but I don't think the finances is going to work out on that. If I didn't already have the TC105Ns, I'd probably jump on them.

Really liking the new Wedssport SA72R Ravspec is offering as a preorder. Specs are 18X9.5, +45 offset. Want to run 245/45/18 rubber. Will be dropped on RCE blacks / Bilsteins:

 

 

Based on willtheyfit.com, the poke will be similar to SubieMT car's at bottom of post.

 

 

Based on inset, my wheels will be close to strut assembly like Brent C's photos below.

 

Don't want to roll fenders: Do you think it'll rub with this set-up?
