Title: GD with 18 inch wheels
Post by: Brisvegas on February 20, 2017, 08:02:11

HI, I found your forum when searching for pictures of i30's with 18's fitted. Can I see some more pictures please and any know issues with scrubbing or anything?
I've got an 2013, ordered a 2016 with the sports body kit :)  (that's it in my profile at the dealership before they start to play with it )
:D

18"x 8" on mine and no issues, you will get a bit more road noise but the handling is better.

If you have the non -independent rear end I'd probably go no wider than 7.5" wheel with a 40 to 42 off set ( the wheel/tyre shops will size up the specs exactly for you ), especially if you are going to lower it at a later date.
