ISF wheels and stock suspension
Hi all,
Does anyone have any idea what the limits are on what width/offset wheels you can run on the F with stock suspension (and without modifying the arch)?
I was looking at some Work M8R in 8.5" 38 and 9.5" 38, they would stick out 13.4mm more at the front and 23.4mm more at the rear.
Thanks,

I am currently struggling with 275/35/19 Michelin PS4S on 19x9.5 51ET OEM wheels rubbing on one side. Your tire selection will impact this decision, but I seriously doubt you'll be able to put wide tires on those wheels and not rub.

See below... Clears perfectly fine on my 2012 wheels and 275/35
I didn't waste my time with heating & rolling..
I shaved / grinded off the excess metal and used a few layers of touch paint to seal it up..
Looks & feels like OEM

With this Rear set up:
19x9.5 w/ 35mm offset on a 265-30 Yokohama Advan Sport tire
Solved via DIY ..

Thanks guys.
I had been hoping I could get away without any modifications to the arch/etc as it's the least extreme offset available for the wheel, oh well.
I guess nearly 2.5CM wider than stock is just too much though, shame.
