I understand that, but so far we've been unable to find any wheels she likes the look of in that size for a price she's comfortable with. All I need to know is if those will line up decent and not have one end sticking out further than the other.

That's exactly what these are, kinda sad when you can't look in the same thread.

Tires: 245/40-18” front and 275/40-18” rear





I don’t have any rubbing, front or rear… however… I think that my front wheels have too much offset and they should be wider. And… a 30mm width difference in tires front to rear is too much and compromises handling.

Looking carefully at the bottom picture, you can see the front wheels are too "tucked-in." A 9.5 x 18" with 15mm offset would look better, and provide a greater range of tire selection.

These also... Basically all the pictures in this thread are exactly what you are asking

Funny, I don't remember asking about 9.5's at all. Anywhere in this entire thread. Neither of those sets of pictures answer the question I asked, and neither did either of you **** tards. But that's alright. I figured I could get some quick, easy answers from people who might already know. I guess I was wrong. Don't you guys worry about it. I'll see about finding a different forum that's not full of ****** like you.

Y'know, I have a fair amount of patience - something required of anyone on any forums. But this one just threw me off my game.

Everyone on this thread - however brutally honest or candid - offered help to the new guy and he comes back with an asshat answer to those long time CONTRIBUTORS who offered up the help.

Yes, please, go somewhere else and see if your attitude serves you any better there. You are not welcome here.

The front wheels in those pictured are exactly what you we're asking about, exactly what you were asking about, exactly what you we're asking about...

Funny, you asked for 8.5 front, and the 2 cars posted are 8.5 front.

It takes alot to break mic's patience, congrads on managing to do what i cant. Youre a certified jerk with a bad attitude

Sorry if I provided information that you did not find useful.



I thought presenting the contrasts between 8.5” and 9.5” wheels with different offsets and suspension setups would help you making decisions. I guess reading your reply that this was not what you were looking for. I'm certainly willing to provide more info if you can refine your question/desires. --Spike

I thought it was helpful

Maybe you can mount both your back wheels on your passenger side and your front wheels on your drivers side just so we can all get an exact picture before we all make up our minds

It appears that “Little Robbie05” has left his thread since he is no longer responding here.

I would only offer this additional advice. If you (“Little Robbie05”) remain determined to use 8.5” wide wheels, then go with 15mm offset. If you can afford more $$, go with 9.5” wide and 15mm offset on at least the rear.

I hope this is helpful. If it is not, please spare me your caustic remarks.

Ive been in this forum for a few years now. I've built my car from motor/tranny to 12" wheels...well i took me 3 years. all the answers were found here...good enough to have my car fully running and all maint done by me. Posts like this keep me away from sociolazing with this new tards. Same as the bimmer forums...people sucks. I love the fact that these types end up giving the car away for cheap because they constantly break them....spend too much on rice and not beef...sorry for the bump but this post is somthing else.
