9.5's on Front too much?
9.5's on Front too much?
Anyone tried 9.5 +42's on the front wheels on their FD. This would be running 255's with maybe a 35 side wall.. i'm not into stretching tires and according to the fd fitment xls this would put me .1 inches too wide for the wheel well.
So my question is would this be an aggressive fender roll or a mild one? My preference is to run 9.5/8.5 staggered but there is a used set of wheels I'm am eying that are all 9.5 inches wide. I think its too much but the offset almost makes it work.
What do you guys think?

Sorry that was a few years ago, I switch wheels alot. 
There is another member here running about the same sizes in enkei nt03+M wheels. I believe his username is "hondasr4kids". You can try searching for his pictures.

Thanks, his fitment looks really good actually. I'll send him a PM on his suspension.
As for my suspension, right now it is stock, but to go with the new wheels I am leaning towards the racing beat springs. I like they way that kit drops the back more than the front as I personally think the front needs a very marginal drop from stock.

I would personally advise against the rb springs. They are a good bit lower than stock, with low springrates. I pulled my fender lip running stock wheels with rb springs.

I've posted about it many times, but on my track setup I run a 18x9.5 +45 and 255/35 with stock fenders. No problems, but they baaaarely work with the unmodified fenders. You'll be ok with a slight roll.

Hey if thats your thing then fine, but notice I mentioned no stretched tires. No way do you run a proper tire with a +22 offset. No issue for me anymore as I lost out on the wheels anyway.
