Used the jimlab xls, critique my FD sizes
By using Jimlab's calculation spreedsheet, I've determined that I should be able to squeeze the following on an FD:
18x10, offset 37
255/35/18 Tire
Both Front and Rear
Inside clearances were no problem, the only grey area was on the front-outside clearance. With a 275 the outside clearance was -0.55. I figure with a 255 slight stretch, and then a fender roll, that could squeeze in.
Another option was an 18x9, offset 37 for the front. With a 255 that would have a -0.05 outside clearance, so maybe a fender roll in the front would suffice?
Just looking for someone to critique my findings.
Thanks,
Daniel

Update: Did some more homework by searching for practical applications of this offset and wheel size here on the forum.
I went with 18x10 +37 for the rears and 18x9 +37 for the fronts. 265/35/18 out back and a 245/35/18 up front. Will definitely require fender rolling when I lower.
Bought these today. SSR SP1 Black with Anodized lip. Got an absolutr steal at $1833 out the door with tires, tax, shipping and all hardware from TireRack. They are being discontinued and there are maybe 2 of these rears left and I think 1 front rim left in stock.
Now to buy the FD

Just curious, what were the specs on your front wheels?

His 245's on 9"+37 will fit as long as you accept they are going to rub from time to time. How much is highly dependent on the car.
