If I went with the 18x9.5 in the front with +22 offset in the front, what is the widest tire I could run? I have the front fenders rolled.

Sold the Work Meisters and mounted Volk TE37SL Black Editions 18x9.5+22 and 18x10+20 with 235/3518 and 265/3518 tires. I saved 22 lbs of rotational mass vs the Works which are heavy wheels!

Gene,
I liked the Works better...... the Volks don't pop as much....

BUT on the streets, 18's are much better...

No rubbing in the front or back, just a full fender roll all around.

Yea, the Works do "pop" out more but I like the look of 18s better.

Just providing a point of reference as Gene runs them in his listed setup.

Gene, do you think you have room to go a size wider, in front or rear? Ie 245/35 as Don mentioned in front, or 275/35 in the rear. Looks like the answer is 'probably not'

Gene,

Can you post some better quality pics? From different angles? FB quality sucks

I'm looking at the pressed double black version. Want the most concave

Guys,

I'm ordering these same rims in the same size. I need sizing help for the tires. Should I stick with Gene's sizing as well?

Edit currently my setup is

18x10 Rear Offset +41/ 18x8.5 Front Offset +40
Front Tire – 235/40/18
Rear Tire – 265/35/18

I realize I'll have to roll my fenders. Gene is running 235/35/18 front. Would me running 235/40/18 make any difference?
