It is no different than running the different offset wheel. So if you would run a wheel in the offset of the current wheel + spacer, go for it.

I would think wear on the bearing would be more determined by where the majority of the wheel is in regards to the bearing. My wheel is 11.5" wide so it still is inward in the wheel well, kinda wrapped around the wheel bearing if that makes sense. Whereas if the wheel was pushed way out and the inner part of the wheel was out closer in line with the wheel bearing it might be a problem. At least that's what I've always thought. I could be wrong. Or maybe it's crazy camber that does damage, I don't know lol.

18x8/9.5 +45 Rays Engineering/Volk Racing GRA Evolution 4

I just got these for a set of track wheels, can't wait to fit them. I don't know much about them but they're light as all getout, I think 18lbs/ea on the fronts. The sticker says 1994. Any info on them? Also included a pic of my car with the street wheels 18x8.5/9.5.

Thanks !,

I,m not running any camber up front at all,I have a skinny 215 tire so that helps.

Car has been in the shop for a eternity chasing down some electrical gremlins and just for fun I have a 225 tire up front to test (17 x 9 with zero offset wheel) and just by eye it would need some camber to get it to fit.It would be ideal to get a bit more tire under there so we will see.

Its on Tein coilovers and its adjusted almost to the lowest setting

so no camber in the front or the back with 17x9 +0 18x9.5 +22 Double Staggered Mag Blue Volk TE 37,s 215/45/17 275/35/18 ?!( assuming you have stock camber specs).
that is great news!

These are going on a stock body (unrolled) CYM.

Work Meister S1 (2 piece welded)
18x9 +38
18x10 +45 (may add a spacer in the rear)

I had the wheels fully polished using a multi stage ceramic vibratory process.

Tires will likely be Michelin Pilot Super Sport
235/40
265/35

Those look great. If you've got those size wheels and care going Pilot Super Sport, go with the 255/275 combo. It's what I have and its perfect for the street.

I ended up with the 235/265 combo. With the front offset, the slightly stretch front tire is friendlier to stock unrolled fenders.

Jehan, those wheels look killer---super shiny. Like them very much, although I think they'd pop more on a darker colored FD like a MB or BB

I'm searching the thread but could use some immediate input if anyone can help.

I am about to put on some 18x10.5 +15's all around. My fenders are pulled and rolled. Would 265/35's fit all around without issue? If not, what would you guys recommend? I'm open to suggestions. I do have Shine Auto Burnout widebody fenders on stand-by. It's looking like I might need to accelerate the install plans.. lol

For reference, I successfully ran 275/35/18's on my stock (rolled/pulled) fenders with 18x9.5 +35 all around and I still had full steering radius. Just occasional rubbing except against low-hanging fender liner bits.

according to this (i input your measurements already so all you have to do is click on the link)

Online Wheel and Tyre Fitment Calculator. Offset, Tyre Stretch and Speedo Error | Will They Fit

Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 7.3mm further away from the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 32.7mm more than before.

I had 18x10.5 +15 with 295/30 and had to flare the rear fenders about an inch. I've noticed an 18x9.5 +22 should fit the front fender with just a roll. Either way I think you'll have to do some work lol.

Just by looking at the pic I'd say yes. Unless the tires rolled them for him haha.
