We prefer going with the 275/35 rear to match up to stock tire profile



F: 18x9.5+12 w/ 235
R: 18x9.5-3 (15mm spacer) w/ 255

Technically this car was used for drifting, which explains the stretch tire

No rolling no rubbing according to customer

 

Looks nice nonetheless.

 

18x9.5 -13? they make that offset? Also concavity is the same as +12 correct?

 

Really? When do you plan on doing this setup?

 

VQ - they dont make negative offsets

 

VQ - you can run as fat of a tire as you are willing to make work. Some will require simple rolling, some will require cutting the lips totally, others will require cutting the lips and pulling the fenders. How much work are you willing to do for a $1400 set of wheels?

the problem with all the big sizes up front with the very low offsets is that turn in response turns from razor sharp to "am I driving a caddy", not to mention the absolute punishment the already crappy balljoints take as a result

 

Thanks for the info, i was just wondering about the 10" XD9 in the front and how they would look. I'm settling on the 18x9.5 +12 pending on the look and fitment of smellslikecurry's 275/40 rears. If anything i can fall back on the +20 all around or 8.5+20F 9.5+20R. Tires are a def 245/40F 275/40R, just need to decide on offset.

 

but you're talking about 2 totally different wheels....XD( and CR Kai don't come in the same sizes/offsets

 

Yeah i know someone brought up the XD9's in another thread and Z33spl is going to run XD9 18x10 +18 all around, I was jus intrigued at the setup. The specs that i want to run are all for CR Kai's Sorry about the mix-up.

 

I made a mistake

Its a 18x9.5-3

15mm spacer on a +12 = -3

 

I'm planning on getting this wheels in a few weeks 18x9.5 all around I want to minimize road noise as possible that is why I want to get 245/40 and 275/40 Will I rub at all? Do I need my fenders roll? Thanks in advance.

 

depends how low your car is, and what specific tire you pick - the rear may need rolling, front will be fine

 

First350, your car looks evil; I like it! Almost went with the same setup myself but felft the CS on the GM would look a little too funky for my taste. Again, nice job!
