Hi, I wanted to switch my wheels to these since my oem wheels have gotten ugly. I have a 2018 touring and saw the wheel width at 7”. With this style of wheel they only make 18x8. I’m lowered on eibach’s and have 225/45/18 tires on and I’ve messed with different sized wheel spacers, front and rear. Front’s are 5mm, rears are 10mm. They never rub with two people in the front but with the rears on, they will rub with five people. Even with the spacers removed, I feel this wheel is to wide and will still rub. I’ve searched and read a couple similar threads regarding my specifications but still think they’d rub even with the spacers removed. Just wanted input please, thank you.

So if I understand your post, you already have these on the car?
If so, just remove the spacers and see what happens. 10mm means your offset is at +35. Thats going to rub.
We won't even get into the part where those wheels weigh 29 lbs each.....😮.....way too heavy for this car.....The factory rims are boat anchors at 27 lbs.....

I have that setup with Racing Beat springs (linear spring rates and .75" front and .5" rear drop) with Enkei PF05 18x8 et 45 wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 A/S tires in 225/45/18.

Moog end links.

No rubbing.

Sorry I meant I still have the OEM 18” ones on and was planning on getting those new wheels if they would fit(with no spacers on of course). I noticed the weight per wheel too. Might try to find a lighter one with a look I like, if not might just get new oem ones then I guess.

If you search wheels on TireRack, you can have them listed in order of lightest first.
