tire rack warning9.5"" and 10"" wheels do not fit on cars with HICAS 4-WHEEL steering. They hit on the rear steering knuckle. The knuckle can be modified with a grinder to accomodate 9.5"" and 10"" wheels.

plan and simple has anyone done this, should you do this just cause it can fit will it cause to much undo stress and cause the area to break?I am looking for 19's and some I found had staggered 9.5 rear

guess I can look for some 9" but I wanted to know with this system if anyone has modified the system to work.

I have 18" x 9" front and 10" rear and no issues, in fact there's about 1/2" clearance at the rear where the tie rod ends are. It's the offset that counts. I think mine are +35 all the way around.
