Quick question.

225/55/18 on a 9.5 rim with +10 offset for the back. Is that going to be fine or too much sidewall?

225/40 for baller stretch. 235 for small stretch. 245 for nice fitment. 255 for mad contact patch.

xxx/55 = retarded.

what's the offset on the 20x10? the 9.5's will fit with coilovers, but they'll be tall and sunken in, and probably rub when turning... Plus if you don't have a body kit you'll be creeping toward DUB status.

I'm looking at some work emotions that are 18x8.5 in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear and +20 offset. I'm guessing I'll have to roll fenders? I'm lowered on espelir springs

Hey tularisgp,

I'm curious as to why you went with a higher sidewall in the rear.
