How do you fit 18x9.5 in the front and 18x12 in the rear? What size tires do you use?

Umm .... maybe buy a Corvette.

Honestly ... I have 10.5 rears (SSR Comps) -- they sit pretty flush to the outside fender, and have maybe a half inch clearance to the strut. No way 12" rears fit unless you have over an inch of rim sticking out past the fenderline (which would look stupid IMHO).

BTW, I run 265/35 (f) and 295/35 (r).

Like this:



Those are 18x10 et 22 front and 18x12 et22 rear. The trick is to stretch smaller tires, and to run a lot of negative camber.

These had 215/40/18 fronts and 245/40/18 rears. And no I don't drive on these, they where just test fitted for laughs.

BTW these would work fine, if I didn't have Brembos... as they sit on the car the fronts have an 18mm spacer effectively making the front offset +4!

Skrill.....

With the 265's on the front does the car want to wonder on uneven pavement or two lane country roads? Thanks in advance.

I do get a bit of tramlining. But overall the handling is sharpened up a lot.
