    So I’ve read the wheel fitment sticky, still clueless, please help!

    Guys,

    I’ve spent an hour searching the forum to see if the wheels I have found will fit!

    Could someone please be kind enough to confirm if the following will fit;

    Front; 18x9.5 et15
    Rear; 18x10 et30

    Many thanks!

    So I’ve read the wheel fitment sticky, still clueless, please help!

    I can’t really help with any advice on wheel fitment, but if you can specify whether you’re trying to fit the wheels under standard arches, rolled, over fenders, etc

    Then I’m sure someone will be able to help.

    Ok thanks, the car has standard arches but I’m happy to get them rolled for the right look. TIA

    What tyre sizes are you looking at? Wheel diameter?

    The wheels will go on the car.

    Fronts will need a slight lip flare if you run a 225/40/18 tyre (if they’re 18”)
    Rear will need a decent roll and possibly a slight pull with a 235/40/18 (again if they’re 18” wheels)

    You’ll need to do more arch work if you’re running really low or go for a wider tyre as the above are a little stretched.

    Rim tuck is a good website to use when checking wheel fitment.

    So I should have obviously included more detail, wasn’t thinking!!!!!

    The car is running on bc coilovers, the tires that are on them are 225/40/18 at the front and 255/35/18 on the rear.

    Seems to be a couple of opinions on how much work it’ll be to fit them. Could anyone confirm further based on the additional info? Many thanks

    Definitely whatever happens you’ll need an appointment with the arch roller if you’ve lowered the car. If you book with arch enemy they will give you what you need.

    Front will fit with very minimal work, might need to tuck the engine loom up higher in the arch on the drivers side depending on ride height.

    Rears will need a good roll possibly slight pull but nothing major.

    Ok cool, think I might go for them. Any suggestions of someone in the Essex/Suffolk area who might be able to roll them contactless for me?

    I’d seriously look at the images on Willtheyfit there will be s14’s pictured on there with the exact specs you list most likely so helps to visualise it.

    Thanks for the advice good people.

    In the end I went;

    Front, 18 x 9.5 et15 with 225/40/18’s
    Rear, 18 x 9.5 et15 with 245/40/18’s

    Just needed a rear roll to ensure no catching, have full lock and everything!

    Sounds like a good option, although the front arches will also need to be rolled, could go 245/40/18 all round and avoid stretch tyres up front if you wanted to.

    Decent specs for minimal work but still looking good
