BBS Super RS 18x9.5 +38 specs

The wheels are 18-inch in diameter and 9.5 inches wide with a +38 offset.

A +38 offset on a 9.5-inch wide wheel puts the wheel face in a mild push toward the fender. Lower offset moves the wheel outward; higher offset tucks it in.

215/40R18 tires on 18x9.5 wheels

The tire size is 215/40R18: a 215 mm section width with a 40 aspect ratio on the 18-inch wheel, which gives a stretched fit (the tire is narrower than the wheel, which pulls the sidewall in and helps clear the fender).

The owner chose Atlas Tire FORCE UHP. We stock Lexani LXUHP-207 215/40R18 at $87 each in this size, and other 215/40R18 tires through the 215/40R18 tire search.

Suspension, stance and clearance

It rides on Air Lift Performance air suspension, so it can lay low parked and raise up to drive.

A slight rub at full lock, 8mm spacers, rolled fenders. Rolling or pulling the fender is what most owners do once the wheel sits this close; it keeps the tire from catching the lip over bumps.

Stance: poke. The wheels stick out past the fender. Flush fitment on a Volkswagen Jetta comes down to the offset and width above; copy them and you get the same result.
