Enkei TS-5 18.8.5 +38

Enkei TS-5 18.x8 +40

I like these wheels, I would probably move over my stock 235 width tires and I don't plan on lowering my car since I daily it all over.

Which is the better option? I would like the wheel to be as flush as possible and not sure if the 8.5 will have fitment issues or if the 235 tire will stretc

No stretch at all with 235. The 8.5 +38 will work fine for what you want.

On a side note in that pic my car looks like a toy car

8 week national back order. Bet on 8 months. I was interested in TS-5 14 months ago but looking at multiple month back order. Hell maybe they're still back ordered from then. I went with TS-V 17x9 -40 with 255/40. If you're set on TS-5 18" 8.5 -38 would be the spec to choose. The TS-V is lighter with split spokes but I do like the the look of TS-5 too.

I saw the TS 6 design was in stock and there was a motegi wheel that I liked as well. Ill have to see what the real delivery times could look like. Thanks for the input.

Not to confuse the guy too much but I think you meant +38 and +40. :cool: I told him that 8.5" +38 and the 235 tire was fine in my first reply but was ignored. Oh well.

I read your post. It was accurate. Yes the offset is positive, you're not going to find a negative offset wheel that fits this car.

Guess I can't post on a thread that you've already replied on. Sorry boss. Guess my information wasn't relevant at all. Why are you even still active on this forum? Honest question.

I didn't mean you ignored my post. I was saying the OP did. He ignored Tyler's post too. :dunno:

Your post was great. You're welcome to post in any thread I post in. :cool: Sorry for any confusion.
