Wheels fitment - 215/35R18 ?

[44sg44]

I'm hoping to buy some ROTA Kensei 18" / 4x108 / e+15 offset /9" wide and put some kind of 215/35R18 but I want to know if anyone already tried to fit that much wide wheels on a fist?

17" can't even fit 215's reliably. r18 at +15.


You have to be trolling.

9in wide can be made to fit. But you need to have a much higher offset

I would say they would most likely fit on the fiesta at stock ride height. There might be some rubbing on the fender though. The widest wheel I have seen was an 8.5in ESM 002r. I believe the offset on them were +20. The biggest problem is a 8in wheel at a +35 offset is flush. Those wheels would stick out an inch and a half past the fender.

Thanks everyone for your replies! I'm reading a lot about wheels fitment but haven't start my FiST fitment project yet... I'll see what will be the best fitment option and then go forward! Don't hesitate to give me your opinion on what fitment you'll love to see on a FiST!

No way would they fit, even on stock ride height and they would look ridiculous.

It seems that a favorite for a lot of people is an 8 in wheel with a 35 to 38 offset. That's what my plans are. I just can't decide between a 16in or 17in diameter.

It seem to be a good plan! Maybe 18" wheels 9.5" wide is a little bit too much for the little FiST... I'm confused...maybe I'll look for 17" wheels 8" wide w/30 or 35 offset and put some 215/40R17 on. Also forgot too say I'll put coilovers to be able to adjust the car height.

It would take some modifications to the inside fender. It would probably scrub at just before a whole turn of the wheel. But I agree that is way to aggressive of a fitment for the car and will be way more pain than its worth

That would definitely work. Those are about the max size that a manufacturer has made for the car anyway.
