Whats the biggest rim width I can put on front and back with JIC FLT- A2 coilovers?
Iam looking to get my suspension on in a week. I am going to get my rims shortly after. I was thinking 18x10 in the rear with 275 35's. In the front I was going to put 18x8 with 245 35's.
Is their any problems with this setup? Will I need something to make it fit right? Was wondering if anyone could help? I didnt know if the coilovers make a difference.

18/10 all four corners=you can run 285/30/18 with no problems.
Or go with 18/10 front- with 285/30/18 ruber
and 18/12 rear and pettit flares and run 335/30/18 ruber(that's what i run)

The car on your website doesnt have fender flares or 335 rubber. Did you just get them or something?

If you run 10" wheels in back, I would go wider than 8" in front. You'll get terminal understeer if you go too narrow in front. 9/10, 9.5/10, or even 10/10 will work. For the track I run 10/10 with 285/30-18 tires all around. I think you might be able to run 10.5 wheels in back, but that is about the limit without fender flares and I wanted to be able to rotate.
MAESTRUL, 10/12 will be a wild setup. Wide rubber is nice! Can you weigh your wheels before you moun tires? I received my 18x10" CCWs with the tires alredy mounted, so I am curious how much they weigh. My estimate is 22 lbs, but it was from a report of the tire weight subtracted from my whole wheel weight.

Wow that's light for an 12 x 18 wheel. 335/30-18 is a bit tall. Do they come in 335/25-18? That would be closer to our tire overall diameter? Perhaps a 315/30-18 would work better? The OD is 24.4 and will be 12.8 inches wide when mounted on a 12-inch wide rim? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Spec.j...so+Asimmetrico
