18x9's all around...

Is this going to be a problem running 18x9's on the front and rear? I know everyone has staggered rims. but the rims that I want only comes in 18x9. they are Helo HE788 Kicks.

the original touring wheels are 18-8 all around...i don't see why 18-9 all around will be a problem.

just follow the directions on discounttire thread about keeping proper stagger.

I thought orignal specs were 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear? so if I can run 18x9's all around, what would be the proper offset and tire size?

BOZ,

I am running ADR Kasai 18x9's all around (one of the FIVE sets of wheels that I now have) with no problems. As long as you keep the offset reasonable (between 25 and 40), you should have no problems.

I just put 18/9 all the way around and have my offset at 40mm front and 30mm rear and have no problems. just a tire gap that I am taking care of when my springs come in.
