Will these 18's fit?

[tuscan_al]

Im looking at some 18''x9j et 30 wheels, will these fit the front and back of my mk1 tuscan without any issues?? Or does anyone know the ideal set up i.e the SP 12 wheels setups??

Never had a Tuscan of course, but gut feeling is that they will sit out too wide, especially at the front. Tuscan front is 42et so you are moving that out towards the arch a whole 12mm, which is a lot. Rear is closer to standard bit still further out than is ideal.

kind of my feeling too, but then pretty sure tuscan s run the wider 8.5 j et 33 wheels all around, so it would not be moving out that much in that case?

Ah did they, maybe ok then if that was the case - also remember, you maybe able to get someone to skim the hub mounting faces down by a few mm if it's touch and go - assuming there is enough meat on there to start with of course as you don't want to weaken them. Shouldn't be much to do it I wouldn't think and often cheaper buying an off the shelf wheel and doing that, than having to get some made to spec by compomotive or whoever.

AFAIK all Tuscans run the same size and offset wheels up front, just the S versions have 255/35s all round.

As well as the offset change you are adding half an inch width so pushing the outside rim another 6mm or so further out.

According to an offset calc, they will be a further 25 mm out on the fronts and 9 m on the back. Will have to get the ruler out when I get home!
