looking for pics of 18x10" +25 up front on FD if possible.

 

Stock pulled fender or wide fender?

 

How about 18x10.5 +12?

 

Under stock fenders even if pulled. Just want to see stance of 18x10 +25 If i can swing it that's what I want.

 

No "even if" needed here. The rim will be out 2" more than stock.

 

^ alright well that settles that.

 

I CALL BS! depends on tire size, and how much of a pull is done.

the most ive tried and got away with on my stock front fenders was

17x9.5 +12 235/40/17



my new wheel set up for my fronts is gonna be 18x10.5 -10.

 

I'm trying to run 285/30/18 all 4 corners (maximum fitment allowed for street class cars)

but still run stockish front/ rear fenders (lots of roll & pull)

and without excessive camber

 

18x10 w/ 285/30/18 will require more like a +50 offset. That's with a roll, 2.5" coilovers, toe links (in rear) and no more camber than what you'd want for performance reasons.

I run them all around w/ a 5mm spacer in the rear.

 

It depends on what you are planning to do with it I suppose.

All things equal, a GOOD tire in that size will be stickier than a GOOD tire in a smaller size. This includes even going into R-comp racing tires.

 

There's not much "better" a tire than a Hoosier R6.

 

Looking into switching wheel size to 17's to allow for more side wall flex

 

^^^

I've run 275/40/17 all around on 17x9.5 +43. It WILL rub more up front, because the similar width 17" tires are actually much taller (there's no 275/35 or 285/35/17 available).

 

And I call BS on your car actually driving under it's own power with the sizes you mentioned

There's a difference between what 'fits' while the car sits by the curb or in a driverway vs 'what really works' by driving a car (fancy that) in all kinds of real world conditions, which have this funny way of compressing the suspension while the front wheels are turning

 

^^ funny thing is my friend drove with those specs... hence why i was test fitting them on my fd as well.. (hes a drifter duuders)

thats his set up.. ill try to get some action snaps..

but for those who want more grip performance this is not something practical.. but it can be done

 

Is this in the front as well?

What size tire?

Stock pulled/rolled or FEED fenders?

 

+1

Here is my 18x10 +38 with a 255/35 tire in front 265/35 in rear

 

Yes, all around. FEED front, rolled rear.

265/35/18, I kind of wish I would have done 255's though.

 

18 x 10 or 17 x 10 front and rear is a piece of cake on an FD. Any offset from a 30-40 can be run and it will fit good, not overly aggressive and not sunken.

And if the car is a street car then no need to run oversized tires either.

 

Why a spacer? Plenty of guys run 18x10+50 in the back without issues.

 

To push the outside of the rear wheel lip out for that "flush" look so popular today is my guess.

 

Sorry but when I look at a car from the rear and the fender well looks like it ate the wheel I shake my head a little. It doesn't have to be "flush" but wheels that fit nicely just make the car

 

ptrhahn isn't that type, which is why I scratch my head.

 

I'm not 100% that my wheels aren't greater than +50 offset. These were custom made for the car BITD for Brad Barber, and I thought I used to see +52 being thrown around on the big list.... but in any case, they rub the aftermarket RE trailing arm if I don't use the spacer (particularly under load), and there's room for the spacer (in the rear), so why not. I use 1/4" extended shank lug nuts that go into the lug holes so that I get enough thread space on stock studs.

Here's how they fit (in action):

 

Actually, our wheels at +50 per Mark's orginal specs for the 6 custom sets of Tecno's he ordered.
