18x9 with 24mm offset 6 inches of backspacing?
 
Ok I am putting some 18x9 y2k cobra's on the 91 instead of the stockers..

Anyone see an issue with fitment?

Really? Damnit. What is the largest offest I can go?

do a search. there are a couple of threads that i can remember looking at in the past couple of years with your exact question. ive seen pics with the 03 cobra rims on the rear but there was just no way in hell that they would fit on the front of the car.

the rear is very close and if you were to put such wide tires on the car, then you might wanna cut the fenders up a couple of inches and put fender flares on it.

i think it would look really fat, id do it my self but i dont wanna cut my fenders and F things up.

good luck

P.S. USE THE SEARCH, it works, i promise.

seriously spent the last 3 hours searching... Some people are running 18x9's in the front (cobra rims) some say they fit some say not...geez...

I've never heard of anyone running more then an 8 inch wide wheel in the front without rubbing problems.

the typical set up is 17x8 in the front and 17x9 in the back with a +35 offset, I'm not sure about 18s though, but I assume it should be the same, but with more potential for rubbing.
