9.5 inch wheels up front, doable?

Evochuck · 03-17-2013, 01:37 AM

Trying to see if I could run 18*9.5 with an et of 40 up front or it will rub like crazy?

BlairD876 · 03-17-2013, 04:52 PM

i have 9.5 up front... not sure on the offsets but yes it is do-able

Evochuck · 03-17-2013, 09:13 PM

Well what brand/model are they?

Doyle · 03-18-2013, 02:56 PM

If you're on stock struts/camber you'll need an offset of around 33. If you are on coilovers/plates, 22-25 and -2.5-3d camber fit 275 up front easy.

You can fit a 275 tire with THAT aggressive offset in the front on a non-M??? Jesus...

Doyle · 05-06-2013, 02:21 PM

Yup. I'm on 8.5 et15 up front now....with plenty of tuck, no poke.

i got kw v1 coilover and my 9.5'' et20 almost touch the coilover by 5-7mm

@Doyle,

I wanna see this 275 tire in the front, thinking about TC Kline coils soon and I'm running a 18x9.5 et35 with a 5mmspacer currently on sports with no rub

Don't have the 275's mounted anymore. It was basically the shop seeing how much the front could swallow. 285/30 was where we started to rub.

If you look through some of my old posts you can see pictures of 265/35 nt05's on 18x9.5 et 25 mounted with plenty of room.

PM me if you want to schedule something. Since I have my DD wheels/tires on, I'll have to swap to the forgelines.

That's crazy awesome haha. I want to run super wide in the back again...but I don't think people make a 295/35/18 tire?
