(FD) How wide of rims before needing coilovers??

I'm looking to go with RH C2's and with 18x10 and 18x8.5/9 (?). Now my question is, since I am running Tokiko 5-way & Eibachs, how wide can I squeeze in before I need coilover's?? Will the 10's fit on the rear with the setup I already have? And I know the front will only accept an 8.5 or so..? Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

I know. With your stock diameter, 4" springs you're looking at a 9" width +45 offset for the front.

in the rear you can do 10's no problem. If you know for sure that the wheel is made in those sizes I can find out reccommended fitment/available offsets from Dazz, the US importer. Let me know. Laters.

That's all folks!!!!!!!!!

You could fit 9.5-inch wide up front with a ~50-mm offset. 10 or 10.5 x 18s in back should be fine, with 45-mm offsets.

Thanks guys! Hey Rishie, If you could find out for me on the correct fitment that would be sweet! I'd like to have a 9" in the front and a 10" for the rear.
The offsets for both, I have to admit I'm pretty foreign on figuring the correct spacing. I like the look of a deep set lip for the rear and nearly none for the front, I think you know the look I'm going for (PHAT). If you can help me out I would be greatly appreciated! Also shoot me a price, Thanks!

Sweet Manny. Hey Manny do you think the section width of the standard Bridgestone in a 265/35 would rub on the inside with 9.5 +50?

Rotor,

Do you know what kind of wheel you're looking at. You can go with an 8.5 up front and still run the reccommended 245/35/18.

The other important question is your functionality, how long you want your tires to last, as well as overall budget. Please PM me this info and I'll know what you're looking at.

Thanks, Rishie
