here is another reason not to

offset that far out will cause alot of stress on the studs and wheel bearings. Also, we really do not have much room in the front... I have 245/40-18s on wheels with a 35mm offset and I rub and 265s rub in the back with a 35mm offset (barely but they do)

personally they arent my favorite wheels, but whatever suits you... I like the Racing Harts you sported before

24mm offset and 18x10s are straight GTR Skyline fitment

You are right about studs, that is why i am replacing my studs, you shouls have gotten 235/40/18 with 35mm offset, because i have 18X8.5 offset 35mm in the front with 235/40/18's and it never rubs, i never had Racing Harts, probably you referring to Volk Racing Evolution 3's i have. Its always nice to try new things (almost always ) I will do whatever it takes to make my car handle better.

Here is T.Ueno's Soarer with:
Front-----18X10 offset 24mm 255/35/18's
Rear-----18X10 offset 18mm 265/35/18's

The offset issue isnt what scares me away from those wheels. I understand you want some fat rubber, so go for it and make it work But just dont do it with those rims, lol

stretched tires like whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!

I'm using JIC FLTA2s, JIC tie rods, JIC front upper link, do luck rear ladder bar, pro tem traction rods, pro team toe rods, cusco front strut bar, and daizen bushings so far.

next mods is a mazworx cage, steering rack bushings, and daizen sways

just rock some stretched to ***** 245's on the 10's I did and my wheels fit fine, SLAMMED.

plus, he's entitled to his own decision. if you like the wheels, go for it. your **** will be hotter than all these "VIP" style cars with fwd offset wheels .


sunken in like woah!
