Default 18x9 50et Square set up

Looking at running a 18x9 50et square set up. Would i have any problems fitting these on the front? My rears are rolled and fender tap removed,front fenders all stock. Im lowered around 2"right now on coilovers.

And waht would be the best tire size for this wheel set up?
Thanks guys!

it'll be very similar to a 17x9 +45, so a flat roll, fender liner trim and some camber. i'd go with a 255/35/18 so you can rotate between front and rear

Yeah 255/35/18 all around would be good. I'd roll your fronts though, just don't flare.

I also think a front fender lip roll and negative camber may be needed. You can also buy a little more room with a 245/35R18 if you wanted it. If I can help with the tires let me know.

I was looking at the new Konig SSMs (Work reps.) For a cheap set of street wheels i wouldnt worry about if they got messed up. But i wanted to try and fit the the rear size up front and run both 18x9 but im being told that the rear wheel size wont fit the front. So it doesnt matter now. The Reason for wanting to run the rear size is for the bigger lip on the wheel is all. Just a look i wanted to try.

What your informant may have meant is the bore is different. I'm guessing konigs use standard bore with hub rings, so you should be fine to move front to back, just make sure the rings stay.
