18x9.5 +40 fitment stock body FD
Using the excel spreadsheet, it says they will clear both front and rear assuming with a fender roll.
I'm running stock shocks with RSR down springs and wondering if a 18x9.5+40 will fit up front without any issues. Again, I have searched the forum and while there is a good amount of info on wheel and tire fitments, most fail to leave out what suspension they are running. Any input will be appreciated. Thanks! |
What tire size are you going to use up front? Are your fenders rolled in front?
|
I was just planning to run 265 all around on the 18x9.5 +40. The fenders aren't rolled currently, but can be if they need to be.
|
I'd compromise and run a thinner tire if necessary.
|
I'd recommend a 255/35 up front, and go with the 265/35 in the rear.
You'll need a roll up front, definitely. In the rear you'll be fine. |
Besides that, should I expect the rub the fender every time I pull in or out of a driveway? This car Is my DD for the time being but I'm currently setting it up for the track in the near future.

I run those same wheels with 285/30/18 Kumho V710 Autox tires front and rear.
Fenders also rolled front and rear. Kind of a tight fit in front, but it works fine. This with 2.5 inch springs on a Ground Control setup. |

The 255/35 is smaller in overall circumference/diameter than the 265/35 by a significant amount, making front fitment easier. That being said, Ive previously ran the 265/35 on a 18x9.5+45 up front with no issues, running Koni Yellows and RSR race springs. With a fender roll youll be fine and Id recommend the 265s just do you have the ability to rotate.
|
So far after rolling the fenders, the clearance with the rear is fine but sometimes on steep driveways or making quick turns, it does rub the fender. I suspect a good alignment is all I need to tuck the wheel in a bit more at the top to solve my problem.
