I said 5" rears and 4" fronts and you can figure that out from simple math and looking at his offsets. Wanna make a paypal bet before he responds.
Its not all about the width of the wheel the offsets play just as important of a roll if not more. He's losing almost an inch from that +20 back spacing on the 13" wheel and the front is neutral meaning the MAX the front can do would be 5" but factoring in the width of the hub and center piece that is normally 1-1.5" that would put his maximum possibility up front at 3.5-4" on the high side. (applying that to the rear, neutral spacing would be at 6" subtract the +20mm and the hub/face thickness and you have a wheel only capable of roughly 4.5-5 MAX) I know those VS-Fs that were posted on here have ridiculous offstes that allow it to have a lot of lippage on a much more narrow tire with some insane -30/40 territory offsets lol (which at a certain degree becomes kinda silly if you have the back spacing for more rubber but makes sense when modified and all that is important is adding more metal up front)

R:18x10 0 112mm - 4.4" lip
it's a lot easier to just look at the sizing, but that's just me.

The numbers do make sense. You and me were talkin' about it before, these wheels here are 6.5ish and 5.5ish I guess we round up lol 7" and 6" lips then? >=P
hey guys, does anyone run a 10" +18 up front on stock fenders? I'm thinking of swapping the xd-9's off my s14 on the FD
right now I just have 17x9 +45's which are pretty sunk lol

Wheels look great Vidjai. I would have loved that finish on my wheels lol.
The whole car looks great actually. Those wheels go really well with the FEED kit.

thanks for all the complements guys!
and the specs are 18x10 fronts/ 18x11 rears (for tire options i went with 11 instead of 11.5)
when i get back to the shop i'll let you know what backpad height was...cutting those wheels was a total blur lol we were in the shop for 3 days till about 12-1am lol
do you know what size tires and the camber specs? I plan to run a 255/35 with minimal camber
this is the only other pic I have that would show the fitment, I think a 9" + 15 for the front and maybe a 15 mm spacer in the rear would be make it flush
I guess I'll post a before pic of my old setup while I wait for my new wheels to come in...just a rear shot 17x9 +45...aka sunken battleship lol tire size 275/40/17 Toyo R888
you can kind of see the front, the specs on the front are 17x8.5 +45 245/45/17

Finally picked up my rims from the shop today.
iForged 19X9.5 and 19X11.5's, both -38 offset.
Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 255/35/19 and 295/30/19 tires.
:P
Mexi-mobile Sonata...hehe
I'm gonna see about stopping by the shop on Wednesday to put them on the FD, and see if I can snap a few pics.
Probably gonna look terrible until I get the fenders rolled. That's just temporary till I get my Burnout widebody fenders installed.....that is, if the guy back in Georgia holding onto them will answer his phone and mail them back to me... >_> -_-;;

lol oh ****, i was gonna start flammin on you with those 19s.... Nothing wrong putting them on the FD but i was gonna say if you left the 35 wall tires, the car was gonna be 4x4 donk status lol. 30s are the tallest you can put on 19s for the FD.
Wheels look sick btw

Thanks Jose.
Believe it or not, the 255/35 and 295/30 combination is the same 26" overall diameter as most 18" wheel/tire setups.
I just hope I didn't screw up on the offsets or anything.
We'll see! Stay tuned for installed pics later this week. I just hope it doesn't end up looking TOO bad. If I can at least get a good roll on the stock fenders as a temporary measure until I do the widebody...I'll be happy.
