I have the opportunity to buy these wheels and tires but they are 225/50/18 will they fit ok, their off a G6 and should have the same back spacing and all. I'm more worried about tire size. Thanks

Assuming you're talking about the factory G-6 18x7" rims fitted with that tire size, you're probably going to have an issue with them rubbing.

That tire/rim combo will have an O.D. of approximately 26.9", anything over 26.1" in O.D. will rub the inner sidewalls on the lower front spring perches.

Spacers may alleviate the sidewall rub, but they bring their own set of headaches.

Their after market wheels but assuming they prolly still have the same back spacing as stock, not sure! Their einki wheels.

But as Mike said above, the tires are too tall and probably won't clear the lower strut perch.

Just wanting to see if its possible to get the wheels I'm looking at to fit with minimal to no modifications. If anyone does have them I would appreciate pics if you could load some. Thanks

Uh. Don't you already have 1 other thread about this??

Uh kinda... But this one is asking if anyone is running this size.

Merged the threads to avoid confusion, duplicate answers, and just plain getting lost on the forum.

Give this thread a read, check out post #2, SS fan is our unofficial 18" tire size expert here. He swaps tires out like a NASCAR pit crew at a short track, I've kinda lost track of how many brands and size variations that Sam has tinkered with.
