Want to run 18x9.5 38mm on FD all around
I want to see if I could run a 18x9.5 all the way around on my fd. I will use a sticky compound 245-255 tire. The offset I am guessing would be 35-38mm???
I have stock style lowered suspension and stock brakes. The wheels I like are enkie RP03 or the Enkie RPF1.
From the searches i've done so far, it is hard for me to tell. Anyone have direct experience with exactly what i want??
Thanks much

You need a +47 to +51 offset to run 18x9.5 up front with stock bodywork. Why would you run such narrow tires on wheels that wide? Ideal size would be 265/35 all around.
You can get SSR Competitions from the Tire Rack in 18x9.5 +50 offset.

Take a serious look at the SSR Comps. You can run 18x9.5 +50 offset all around with 265/35 tires. You'll have more traction than you need and they'll look great.

maybe I'll push my luck and try a 45mm offset
