Anyone running 18X9 up FRONT? Feedback/Suggestions?

Post by SORIANOTRON »

Looking to run 18x9 on all 4 corners, anyone with a similar set up can provide me some insight?

It sure if this helps but I have 18x9 rears and 18x8 fronts (for sale in the classifieds). They seemed to be fine. I can’t speak to the next size up front though.

18x9 with a 20 offset might fit, but it's going to be very close. I have 18x8.5s with 25 offset on the front and they fit (235/40) without rubbing, but it's VERY close to the strut.

I am told by others who have been here before that the maximum diameter wheel that works with standard geometry are 17".

I am running 17" BBS 050's with 235 section tyres and 5mm spacers and hubcentric rings all round and no problems.
