JRoc Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I have been toying with the idea of bumping up from my 17 inch Volans on my 855 to an 18 inch wheel with the same offset. I know this question has been asked probably a million times but I'd like some input as to if I could make a 18x8 Peg wrapped in a 215 40 18 WITHOUT rolling fenders. I have IPD sport springs to drop the car and I don't want to roll my fenders as my paint looks like this (yes I needed to treat my ashy bumpers in this picture):Don't want to risk compromising the paintjob or the entire look of the car by cracking the paint, denting the fenders, pulling them etc.So, will they fit with minimal rubbing? I don't mind if they do on full lock or if the rears are really loaded down and I hit a bump hard. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survolvo Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I have Tritons w/ 215 40s on TME springs and rub quite a bit both at lock and just over bumps. Went through one set of wheel liners and have stopped driving the car for a while (due to unrelated issues). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikS Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 You can do it, but say goodbye to your wheel liners if you want to keep them or like having them.I had Voxx Misanos and without any lowering they ate through them in no time. Having height adjustable struts/shocks makes it less of a worry. Really the way to go if you want to go that big on the 850, IMO. Adding some spacers might help.

claymore Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 As I said earlier, it will deffo take out your liner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiles855R Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I ran 18x8 et43 225/45 and had the rear finders rolled and only rubbed and lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRoc Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 I think id rather get the Volans refinished than try and mess with these. I have a set I can throw on there just to see how they look though. Curious to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRoc Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 They never rub with my 17x7 215 45 17 tires. Now I might need to get different wheels to clear a BBK. Decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
