I just got my prokits in yesterday and I am looking to buy some wheels. I was wondering if these would rub or give me any problems

I have read and read on here and it seems like with that width and offset it works for some but then again Iv also read where it doesnt work. Can anyone help me? I would appreciate if someone could suggest tire sizes as well.

wouldn't worry about it with a pro kit.

get a 225/40/18 tire. only thing to run on an 18. 215/35/18 would work as well but that's a thin tire...a little too thin if you like your wheels being round and not full of bends. hahaha

On a pro-kit drop (I have mazdaspeed, same thing basically) 225/40/18 works perfectly, as long as you run a decent offset, such as 48mm.

You wont rub with +42 offset and a 7.5 width. But dont go slapping on 225s or you'll be rubbing a bit, get 215s and you'll be ok

See when I do the wheel fitment online it tells me to get the 2 piece gunmetal or gold. I want the silver but the silver only comes in +42. Also the offset it gives me is +50. The only offset they have in the one-piece in silver is +42. This sucks! In your opinion how bad would it rub? Would I be wasting my money? I was wanting to run 225/40/18.

I am running a 18x7.5 22540ZR18 on my mazda 3 with tein basic coilovers, and its dropped a good bit, and there is not rubbing on my ride. i think the offset is +42. You should be good running a 225 40 R18 on your ride.
