i am thinking about purchasing some wheels from tire rack. they are 18 x 9 in the front and 18 x 9 in the rear. tire rack states this will work on the front and rear. but will i have a problem with this setup of 245-40-18's on the front and 265-35-18's on the rear as they have suggested? i have mostly seen 7.5, 8, and 8.5's on the front, but not 9's.

will their be any rubbing? tire rack has been in business for a long time, so i guess i should take their word for it?

i have a 1996 SC400.

would it be better to run 18 x 8 with 245-40-18's on all four corners instead of the 18 x 9's?

the wheels are moda r6 clad with yokohama as es 100's.


this is my first post, i would appreciate all of the wheel experts out there to give me some feedback.

 

I have 18x9 with a 37 offset and it doesn't rub.

 

why not go with a staggered setup? 18x8 in the front and 18x9 in the back?

 

I would go 8" for better fit in the front. But stagger would be my first choice. 9" in the front may cause some problems if the offset is a bit off, or the sidewall is a tad too high on your chosen tires.

i agree with pcmw...staggered is a better way to go, and tire rack offers it on certain wheels. i see youo are in Atlanta, are you coming to the meet on 1/5 at Andretti Speed Lab? Check the south east section of the forum for details

 

If you want to do 245's, I would do 9", not 8"...if the offset is good, you shouldn't rub....

 

Yeah, what he said Perfect chance to meet up with some of the best folks in the world! Oh, and I'll be there too... :eek:
