    anyone running on 18x9 wheels and lowered? i want to know how well it fits. i am looking into either 18x9 fr500's or 18x8 bremmer kraft br05's. id prefer a wider wheel and tire package for performance but do not want to compromise with something thats going to rub.

    18x9 +35 w/ 245/45/18 will fit with a bit of fender rolling. i wouldnt go with a lower offset or a wider tire than this. that said youre not gonna gain any performance out of it, 18x9's tend to be heavy.

    needs rolled fenders in the rear. i can imagine this thing eating tires if you got anything in the trunk.


    that said, if the fr500's are offset 30 itll be mexi flush w/ 265's.

    I love your thought process because I agree.
