Hi all
MY query is ...can 18x9 rims fit on rear of 1993 Soarer V8?
If so - what are the widest tyres that can fit on these? THANKS!!

yes they can, but depends on the offset. max tyre size would be 255?

Actual wheel size is irrelevant if you are sticking with the same rolling diameter. Offset and tyre size are the important things. 255's are an easy fit even with low offsets. I've never seen a Soarer with bigger than 275's on it, but there are probably people who do run bigger.

Don't forget wider tyres = bigger chance of aquaplaning.

when i had 19's i had 285x35x19's with 19x10 +35 and fitted no problem just had to take the little strip around the guard off. I had the guards lipped just in case though after i had them on for a while cause i wanted to lower it heaps. If you check in general soarer chat i have a few pics of 18x10 with +17 offset

sorry 18x10.5 with +18 not my wheels so couldnt remember. With less offset and bit less width easy fit without lipping guards.

275/35/18 on the rear of mine on a 46 offset. No issues at all, but- if your camber is out(ie you are running too much) you will get a very obvious wear pattern on the inside edge.

They have been on there the 8 years I have owned it. No modifications were done. All the plastics are intact. I am running coilovers with a rear ride height of 340mm CWG.

hi all
does anyone know how long would it take to change a rear main seal on a V8 and does the motor have to be dropped or is just the gear box itself?

Also is there anywhere in Perth where i can have my front headlights polished...they are a bit dull.

I changed mine over a weekend and you only have to drop the box.

FWIW, I am running 275/30/19 with a 35 offset and they are fine.

As long as the car is not lowered onto the guards...

Tony, your previous query had 2 parts. Offset and headlights.

Matthew answered the first part (both actually), and I answered the 2nd part.

Wheel, tyre and offset match up's have been discussed many times, so Search will turn up many interesting and informative threads that would be very useful to you.

We love to help people that are also trying to help themselves.

Not so much the other way.
