Enh yes you could at stock height. The width is not ideal for the real being that it is narrower than AP2 oem sizes. The tire will be a little wide depending which tire you do with. Personally I would sell them and buy something else thats wider in the rear.

 

Will 18 x 9.5 +55 fit in the front without any fender work?

 

No. It will need to be rolled.

 

I was looking at the Forgestar 14 thread, 17X10 +55. They were putting on 255's, R888 and NT01. From the pictures those tires on 10" wheels looked fatter than my 255 RE-11's on my 17X9. I know certain tires run fatter than others. Is there a fat tire list any where?

 

^I was worried about the same thing and used tire racks tread width listing. For instance the Z2 was listed at a tread width of 10 inches and RE11a was 9.5 or something. My AD08r's are 10 inch wide I think as well and barely looks stretched on my 17x10.

 

Here's a question for the wheel gods lol

I currently have 17x8+47 fronts with 225's and 17x9+38 rears with 245's so have no stretch at all the fitment and performance is great like this. All for corners of my car are trimmed to make these fit and wondering if I can go to 17x9+49 front with 245 and 17x9.5+32 rears with also matching 245 tires. I used the site iftheyfit.com and its pretty damn close as far as the tire goes but the wheels themselves are all that concern me might be having too much poke and god knows im not about to start stretching shit..I prefer a meaty setup but don't want to do anymore work on my fenders so prefer to stick to the 245 rears instead of 255 which will be a bit more difficult. Camber on my car is -2.5 front and -3.0 rears and have never rubbed with the wheels I have now.

Thanks fawkers

It should work. The 9.5 +32 is a good bit more aggressive than the 9 +38 you currently have but the 245 will be more stretched allowing for a bit more clearance. You may need a little more camber like an additional .2-.5 in the rear.

 

what about 17x9+49 front with 245?

 

Rosie still looking at new wheels, somethings never change! LOL but I am doing the same thing!

 

17x9 +45 front with a 245 will be fine. I run a 17x9 +43 with a 245 front. The Rosie wheel dilemma continues.
