Default 18 Inch Track Wheels

Guys, I want to upgrade wheels for track to wider one piece 18's...
I see plenty of 18X8.5 fronts and 18X9.5 rears...
I wanted to know if anybody sells wider front one piece wheels like 18X9 or
18X9.5 for the front. I can find 18X10 rears easy but not for the front.
I know I can get 3 piece but for the track wanted some simplier one piece wheels..I am looking at running 265 front and 285 rears..

Thanks...

If a 18x9.5 wheel has a suitable offset for the front axle, then just put it on the front.

You want 18x9.5 rears as well? if that is the case, get the +22 all around. The +38 and +43 will be much too conservative on a 9.5" wheel

That's my car right there.

Work Emotion XT7 18x9.5 +20 all around
Front 245/40 (a bit stretched)
Rear 275/40

On stock suspension until I can figure out what I want to do.

How is that setup holding up? Do you get some oversteer? Non-the-less, your car looks sick.

Well I havent driven it that hard yet in the corners to be honest ... I still want to upgrade the suspension first before I really push the limits. As far as daily driving goes and reg. speed cornering they are VERY SOLID and give driving a solid feel as well, personally I like having the wider wheels and tires in the front it gives that bulldog stance to the car...
