Can I Fit 18x8 FR & 19x9.5 RE

I'm considering purchasing a set of Racing Hart M5's. The set up would be:

18"x8" 215/35/18 Front
19"x9.5" 265/30/19 Rear

I don't have anything done to my suspension, and it's a '94 Touring. Will these fit without any problems, or do i need to do upgrades to the suspenny as well.

I DON'T WANT ANY RUBBING IN THE FRONT, WILL THIS BE THE SET UP I DREAMED OF OR A TOTAL NIGHTMARE?

My current wheels SUCK!!! (BTW, they're for sale, you should buy them)

The tire size you're going to use up front is unacceptable. You should see if there is another size you can run. I would suggest an 18,8.5 with a 245/35/18. Otherwise this staggered setup will not look appropriate. And it will be primarily for looks as well.

I would highly suggest 18's front and rear.

Agree with Rishie on this one. 9 x 18 with 255/35-18s with 45-mm offset would work. Maybe Nocab72 will sell you his beautiful SSR Integrals with with Toyo T1-Ses once his new wheels come in?

Hey,

Thanks! These were actually a set that were for sale on thepartstrader.com site for $1500.

Hell, I just couldn't get past the price. I've wanted the M5's for a while now.

I suppose I'll wait for something else to come along.
