18 X 8.5 and 18 X 9.5 Offset ?

I have a chance to pick up a set of 18's for my FD, and I am wondering if the offset will work

they are

18 X 8.5 +30 in the front

18 X 9.5 +38 in the rear


Will these work on my FD?

I currently am running JIC coilovers if this matters.


Thanks

>>18 X 8.5 +30 in the front<<

Offset of 30 brings the wheel too far out....possibly hitting the fender.

Rears are OK

What would it take to make the fronts work? or can it even be done?

It shouldn't be done, go with some wheels that properly fit.

What are you looking for? You can get 18x9.5 +50 offset all around in SSR GT-2 or Comps for about $2400 from Tire Rack.

They would have been very nice, but the guy sold em, and they did not have the right offset anyways.

The hunt for a new set of rims continues.

Jesus,

What's your budget on work wheels? Send me a PM and I'll see what I can do to help you out. We are an importer, if you're a super duper nice guy I'll see what I can do to make these affordable for you under a sponsorship.

I'll hook you up and the whole family if you're interested. I love the TM1. That wheel is sexy and I can vary offset by 1mm to make it perfect for FD. Not to mention that they are cheap.

Email me if you have up to two grand to spend on those termists. I'll quote you exactly via PM.
