    18 x 9.5? will they fit?

    Will 18 x 9.5 with a 35mm offset and 225/40/18 stretched tyres fit our leggys?

    Brad's probably the person to ask as he like REALLY wide rims. They'd be stretched a fair bit though on 9.5s
    I'm not arguing...I'm just offering an endless series of contrary points of view.

    Don sent me a pm today, I don't know if they would fit or not.

    There is that pic of the wheel in my gallery and how it sits next to the rear suspension arm, it is bloody close and I'm just not convinced it would fit.

    Carsten has 18x8.5" wheels with a 35mm offset, I am fairly sure that if you moved the inside of his rim in by 12.5mm that it would touch the suspension arch.

    ill do a trial fit with the dudes, if it dont fit ill just go with the 18 x 8.5 with the 35offset. What about spacers?

    spacers will obviously sort out the suspension arm problem, but you will run into arch problems with the rear wheels.
