I did a search and couldn't find anything this specific. Give me a the noob slap if I'm out to lunch.

A local guy is selling some Work CR Kai wheels, in bronze. They are 18x9.5 +12 ALL AROUND. I'm fairly certain the rears will fit, but I'm curious to know if anyone knows if the fronts will fit. No fender rolling and sitting flush is of course, ideal.

Anyone with experience with this?

Thanks,

Aaron

 

There not going to be flush. They will stick out some. Are you lowered?

 

Nope not lowered. But I can't guarantee I won't be in the next year or so. I the tires on these wheels are pooched, so new rubber will be needed.

 

I run the 9.5 +12 CR Kais up front. It sits perfectly flush. I had them on with 255/35/18, 245/40/18 and 235/40/18 Dunlop Direzzas. The 255s rub when compressed at full lock on stock fenders but the 245s and 235s were perfect. I'd jump on those wheels if I were you. Used +12 CR Kais are hard to come by.

 

So if I picked up some 245/40/18's I should be just fine? No rolling? BREMBO clearance?

Rear's are fine as well?

Thanks for the input!!

 

Yup, 245/40/18s would be fine up front. No rolling and the Brembo's clear. The rears clear fine with 255s, not sure with anything wider on the 9.5s. I had to roll my rear fenders with 255/35s on the 9.5 +12s and 265/35s on 10 +18s with a 15mm spacer.

 

Sorry, that seemed unclear to me... They did or did not clear the fender with a 255/40/18?

Thanks again!

 

255/35/18 will clear. I had to roll them because I'm running 15mm spacers.

 

Gotcha. Thanks!!! Now, do the rears sit flush with the fender without the spacer? Swear, last question. lol. I'll likely pick these up then.

I run 18x9.5 +12 front and rear with a 15mm spacer on the rear.
245/40/18
The fenders are rolled in the rear, I think stock fenders will clear without the spacer.
They weren't "flush" enough for me without the spacer.

 

i am planning to order some 18 by 9.5 20 offset.. do u think i should get any spacers?.. i dont wanna roll my fender.. but at the same time i wanna have a setup which can help me slamm the car.. i was planning to get 245 40 front and 275 40 rear.. is that fine?

 

Nice car!

Well, there we have it. I think I'll go after those wheels. Thanks for your comments! It is appreciated

 

You should be fine with that if you don't want to roll your fenders. 275/40 is too tall IMO.

 

so what would u recommend tires for rear?

 

245/40 front and 275/35 rear would look pretty good

 

thanks

 

So you were running 245/40/18 on all 4?

 

Yes.

 

ohh ok.. why do u recommend 275 /35 than in the rear?

 

i run 275/40 in the rear on my set-up with no issues
