Is anyone out there running 18'' 8J alloys on a P1 V70R?
Need to know offset of the alloy and tyre size you are running please.
Any issus with clearance or arch liner rubbing?
Also... can I not have a load of guesses or 'probablies', actual real life personal experience would be welcome!
Many thanks

lol for S40Arch.
Pro Race 1.2's, he wants 18's but we are unsure of the offset to order ;)
Done a gay bus, been there done that, 850 for life!!

18's are too big for a p1 really aren't they?

I'd agree actually but it's what he wants, certainly too big for an 850. I had to run 225/35 18 I think but that was on KW's. Bloody terrible!
Not sure about a P1, I recall that 18's are slightly less a tight fit.

I'm running 18x8J et50 with 20mm adaptors working the offset out as +30.
Tyres are 215/35R18.
Ride is better than 205/40R17 on 7.5J rims :D
Outer edge of wheel can touch the arch lip slightly when turning hard but the car is lowered on coilovers. No damage to the liners, they just kiss slightly :)
If I could have I would have ordered 15mm adaptors so I would have ended up with +35.

when I had my v70r they probably, maybe,hopefully, well a shot in the dark
I had copy pegs on 8jx18 cannot remember offset but they ran 225x40x18 rears were all fine no problems what so ever only front would rub on full lock was going to fit to thicker lock stops but never got round to it
