Default Wheel Fitment

Does anyone know the biggest width and offset you can fit in the front without a lot of rubbing?

Ive read 8.5 is the biggest? but i want to fit 9.5 with some crazy stretched tires and camber.

Any advice?

rubbing would not be your issue, you can most definitely fit 9.5 in the front. your worry would be turning radius. If you don't mind losing some turning radius 9.5 will work

I test fitted some 9.5 +25 offset and it didnt rub at all on the turning radius because it had some ridiculous stretched tire on it...

Dixon Pai I wanted to ask you. Do you not have prb with rim slap? on your fenders and do you have any diy or pictures on how you shaved your fenders??

And im actually get some wheels in the next month or so they will be 18x9.5 +22 all around.

honestly, for optimal performance, u are better off with 9" all around setup with a medium offset. 25~35mm ish.

i had a 8.5" front with a 235 tire. it was perfect, no issue at all and u won't have to stretch at all, cuz stretching the front is basically asking for trouble. i couldave gone with a 9" in the front with the same tire and that would still be a rather straight sidewall.

i ran a 9.5" rim with +15 offset for the rear and that was all trouble even with a stretched 225 tire, -3.5 camber and a rolled quarter. it would rub when the trunk is loaded or i have 2 people sitting in the rear. i went too aggressive with the offset. I think i'll scale back to a 9" or mill down the back face of the rim to make it 25 offset.
