Hey...

i need new rims for my car...

i'm thinking about the Axis Reverb...

i have the s15 front end, and wider front fender...

now, my question is - will that rim, on 18", 9.5" width and +35 offset, will sit well on the front?

i know that it's good for the rear...

the rims dealer here have them only on that size... and i don't want to wait 6 month until he'll get a new stock...

I don't think the wheels will fit on your car especially if you have coilovers. You are bringing the wheel 33mm closer to the strut and coilovers have a considerably larger diameter than stock struts. 9.5" up front is pretty wide, but ultimately if you want to know if they'll fit with your current setup, you'll just have to get under there and measure your clearances. May have to add a spacer or do some fender rolling/pulling.

As chmercer once said, "put wheels on car, drive around, look at sidewall, if rubbing, put spacer. good sized wheels will have ample strut clearance anyway."

You're about an inch and a half too wide on front. Offset +35 clears coils with the proper 215 width and 8" wheel.

9.5 will need a +10 or less on the front to clear... the rear may clear with +35 and a +25 for certian.

nice ride Smith... the front lip looks a little weird though from that angle.

first time i've seen 14 wheels on a 13. looks very clean man!
