I might pick up a set of stern wheels in a 18x9.5 +35mm all around. I'm pretty sure that the rear would fit, but Not sure on the offset of the front since it is pretty wide. anybody know if the front would fit with that size?? Thinking of running 235/40 in the front and 255/40 in the rear with a fender roll all around on tanabe and tokico suspension. Thanks

jessels4

anybody know?

im pretty sure it will fit coz i got a 18x7.5 +8 in the front running on 245/40 and im 18x8.5+15 245/40 in the rear...all i did was do a little fender roll and no longer rubs

Dutch

theyll fit, but you wanna run taller tires in the back? dont you think that will look a lil funny?

jdmsole06

what do you mean by taller tires? instead of jesse running 255/40 in the rear he should go 255/45?

Also, what tire size do you recomend for 18x7.5+8 front 18x8.5+15 rear? i kind of want the stretched look but dont want the tires to be too thin...does 215/40 in front and 225/40 in the rear sound ok?

a 255/40 is around the same overall diameter as stock.

if the car is slammed it WILL rub in the front and possibly in the back.

Thanks.. I was thinking it will rub. searched if anybody was running 18x9.5 in front but largest I've seen was 18x9 in front.

probably go with another setup to be sure it won't rub. going to run 17x8.5 32mm and 17x9.5 38 with 275/45 in rear and 245/45 in front, with rolled fenders all around.

should I go the tanabe and tokico setup, or kyb and h&r? heard mixed reviews about the tokico hp's.

17s? they gonna look small on the LS. should run the 18's and maybe a 30/35 series tire. depends on the roads there in Cali, if they paved nice then go for tanabe springs and kyb setup. tokico tends to not last long and kyb has the oem comfort but stiffer than oem. if Cali has crap roads like NY then go with H&R + KYB.

17's look decent since I have them on my ls right now. I like the meaty tires on my wheels, and that fitment would look good. I'll post pics of the ls when I get the new setup.

if hes running the same width rims all the way around and running different width tires with the same sidewall percentage then his sidewall will be bigger in the back.

cali roads is no where near F'd up than NY...Cali roads are sorta like FL roads with a few messed up highways here n there...Vegas roads are more like NY roads

I picked up some Volks CV Pro 17x8.5 +33 front and 17x9.5 +38 in rear and looks pretty flush in the rear which I still need to roll the rear. Looks flush in the front but not enough. Let me snap some pics and post it!!
