Wheel fitment question...
I was initially looking at CE28s but my dealer has told me im likely to be waiting till August until I see them. Which is no good for me.
Im now after Work Emotion Cr's...
Ive already tried an 18x8.5+43 up front which fits nicely...So ill be going for that.
Its just the rears baffling me, It has to have the concave look so I assume it has to be a minimum of 9.0 wide to achieve this?
Im thinking 18x9.0/9.5 with an offset between 44 & 50 if thats possible?
My dealer isn't much help when it gets to these sizes, he thinks im mad wanting to run so wide with such a low offset and has said he wont take them back as they are well outside his 'offset guide book' if they don't fit.
So im relying on you guys!
BTW, I have been searchig like mad and ive found 17x9.0+44 seems to fit nicely which a cool concave face, so if I up to the desired 18" and it fits the same... its all good.
Thanks in advance

+38!?
Im pretty much going to need to fit bigger arches or roll the hell out of the standard ones. Neither of which I fancy doing really, do they not make an 18x9.5 + 40something?

Yeah seen that thread, they look great.
I cant get the pdf file to download on my computer for some reason!
A 9.5 38 offset is going to be daft in 18" on stock arches I reckon so if they dont make even a 9.0 +40 something looks like ill have to change my mind on wheels.... again!
