Hello everyone. I am shopping for wheels and tires right now. I have the wheels in mind. I'm thinking about going 18x10.5 +22 in the rear and 18x9 +20 in the front. I would go 9.5 in the front but the wheels I want do not come in that size unfortunatly. How will this size wheel run with stock ride height? Also what tire size would you guys recommend with this wheel setup? I am not going to track the car or anything like that. I want it only as a daily. I don't want any tire stretch, rub, fender roll etc. Will 9' F and 10.5'R affect handling in a bad way? Sorry if this has been discussed but I've searched and can't find anyone with this setup Thank you everyone I appreciate the help and input! Hope everyone had a great easter!

Well, that depends.

On whether or not these wheels will match your door handles.

OK, just busting your chops. Those sizes will work fine. While the extra half inch on the front would be nice, it's not going to affect anything negatively that drastically, handling wise, so long as you outfit with the proper (size and type) tires.

How it all fits at stock ride height ALSO depends on your tire choices. Keep the stock HEIGHT/DIAMETER (which you SHOULD for other reasons) and it won't look any different in the elevation (side) view. It will look very different from the fore/aft and 3/4 views though because width and depth are changed. (Fairly obvious, yes?)

Physical fit should be fine with no interference from inside or outside edges/components.

Piling on to Mic's comments...


Good offsets. As noted, would prefer a 9.5 up-front but "it is what it is" if that's all the Mfgr markets in the wheels ya' want.


No issues with your wheel choice specifically. Its the combination of those wheels and the tire size/profile you pair them with that you focus on. See below for a reasonable/common choice.


If I were making that decision it would be 245/40-18 & 275/40-18 (aligns to OEM diameter and recommended section-width specs). Others may suggest different options/sizes but will be in the same ball-park.


Can't guarantee you anything but...the above tire sizes paired with those wheels...some minor stretch out-back but still a good sidewall profile (visual). More importantly...that combo is an upgrade that will provide solid performance and that's what matters. Doubt you will need a roll (no rub, will still have OEM "gap" but looks better because your filling the wheel well out). Generally front & rear should appear "flush."


We could "get into the math" but its not worth debating nor should it impact your decision.

FWIW I run the following in comparison on a stock suspension, a very adequate street setup and not too different than where your heads at (mine is not a DD).

• (F) 255/40-18 on 9.5 +22
• (R) 275/40-18 on 10.5 +18

Go here and run the numbers to see the similarity between these and what your considering.

haha actually speaking of that they are silver and are quite close to the door handle color haha! Thanks again for the help! So if I wanted to keep the per say stock ride height look which size tires should I get on these wheels?
