You may be able to pull it off with a full roll, skinny tires and a lot of camber. In my opinion, unless you are dead set on getting that set of wheels, I would probably try to find something with a better offset for our cars.

Yes

That setup is going to be extremely difficult to fit. It can be done, but not without rolling all four corners flat with a pull. Skinny tires and camber will be necessary as well.

it can be done, but you'll sacrafice performance and driveability.

Unless youre going wit that extreme look, why not just find something that will fit better? Are the rims that desirable?

 

These wheels are desireable enough (to me) to roll the fenders and all. However, I do not have coilovers, just springs. Therefore I might just downgrade to the 17's instead. This would remedy the problem for the most part but not completely, correct?

 

Mostly the 17 vs 18 question is not a matter of fittment. 17 vs 18 will only change the ride, in that the 17's will have more sidewall. Overall height of 17 with tires should be basically the same as 18's.

Now if the 17's are less wide, and with better (higher positive) offsets, they might work.

Do you know the specs for the 17's?

 

They come in all different offsets in the 17 and 18. They have a 30mm in the 17x9.5 and 18x9.5

 

I never try to talk anyone out of something they want to do. However, getting a 9.5 to fit on the front with anything less than about +45 to +50 offset will be very difficult. Even at those offsets, it will be tough. If you plan to do widebody kit or over fenders, +30 will work

 

I would have to agree with Rick. Unless you're using wider aftermarket fenders of some sort, or an absolutely ridiculous (my personal opinion, whatever that's worth ) amount of tire stretching and negative camber, I don't see +30 offset working properly with OEM bodywork. If they have a higher offset, I would certainly recommend going that route. Otherwise, a widebody configuration might be your best bet.

 

There are replica widebody fenders for sale in the UMW Classifieds, maybe if I have any $$ left over I will just scoop those up lol. Thanks for the input fella's. The guy I have been talking to who has these wheels has them at a 22 offset which is insane, and said they dont rub that bad with only 1.5 degrees of neg camber. I dont want to have to mess with camber or do that "hella flush" garbage, so I will see when the time comes and what kinda of $$ i can throw around..

 

Sounds good man, keep us posted!

 

Again don't want to tell you what to do, but "don't rub that bad" is only happening if he has a lift kit on the car.

However, I would not worry about using negative camber. Modern street tires can tolerate probably up to 2 degrees before getting significant wear issues. Without lowering the car significantly, it will be difficult to achieve more than 2 degrees in the front anyway. Camber can easily be set when you realign the car for the new setup.
