Thumbs up 18x10.5 in rears?

I want to fit 18x10.5 DoLuck Double Six wheels in the rears and 18x9.5 in the fronts. Upon researching I found that ASM makes fender flares for the rear and widebody fenders for the front both giving an extra 25mm(1inch). Will that be enough to put those wheels n tires on the car? Will the handling characteristics be improved dramatically? Any help would be appreciated...

what are the offsets and with 18x9.5 front and 18x10 rear the handling will almost certainly suffer. Potentially considerably....

9.5" for the front is tooooooo wide........

As far as 10" or 10.5" for the rear.

1. you can fit that size wheel with out adding a fender flare kit as long as you get the wheels made in the right offsets.

2. "RT" on the board is running Fikse 18" x 10.5" +75..........285/30/18 rear tire

I have a Work 18" x 10" +76..........285/30/18 rear tire

RT is lowered close to 2" I am lowered approx 1.3" neither of us have any issues with rubbing or fitment...........No Fender Flare Kit Needed....

Either way get the correct offsets......Good luck with the purchase.........you might want to rethink the 9.5" for the front....
