Hey guys,

Just curious, has anyone run 18x9.5 wheels all the way around? I've got a friend who has some amazing wheels that I may pick up. I don't even know where I would start with tires, maybe a 225/40/18?

I've seen 18x9.5 in the back, just not the front.

Anyone with some help or references?

Reckon you will be just hitting the shock there, probs need spacing out 4 mm or so bringing the et to 31 ish, then there gonna scrub like hell if your low, and low is the only way there gonna look good. 215/35 needed and there gonna be too stretched for my liking. They will stick out 13mm more than mine more if you space them.

Yeah, its going to be a pita, is there a way to camber the fronts? I may just do that for the one show I am going to run these for. HellaFlush in Buttonwillow next month.

I'll keep it 225/35 in the back and camber it, but i'll run a 215/35 in the front.

IIRC the only way to camber the fronts is with camber plates. Pricey, although I haven't looked for them in the past few months.
