Wheel fitment, 9.5" +35 offset, 2.2" drop, will they fit?

[mackdaddy240]

I found these wheels on ebay at a good price, but I'm not sure if they will fit or if they will stick out of my wheel well all stupid looking.I have a 2.2 drop in front and a 2.1" in back also.

front Size: 18X8.5 28.8 lbs each

rear Size: 18X9.5 28.0 lbs each

Bolt Pattern: 4X100 and 4X114.3 (4.5")

Offset: +35mm

Something that wide in that offset will most likely rub the shocks. I seriously doubt that they will clear coilovers.

this link says that the wheels are gonna be 27mm closer to shocks and stick out an additional 37mm compared to the stock wheel. You can always modify the fenders to clear but the suspension it what I would be worried about.

FRONT:

8.5" with a 35 offset will probably rub the struts up front, with a proper sized tire at least.

I have test fit a 9" wheel with a +25 and 235/40-17 tire...and it *barely* cleared the suspension...the wheels you're talking about will be 4mm CLOSER to the strut...may be TOO close.

REAR:

9.5" wide +35 fits easily in the rear...even with a 255 tire, all you'll need a is a little camber.

Thanks for the input, I contacted the guy selling them he said 7.5 in front is what he sugests and 8.5 in back because it would rub quarter panel, but he didnt mention rubbing the shocks, these wheels have a monster lip on them so hopefully that makes up for the extra width so they wont rub coil overs. I'm going to try 8.5 in rear and see what happens.

i know the wheels you are talking about, and im getting ready to by myself a set .. they are good stuff. what color did you get?

[mackdaddy240]

well the only choice is silver or gunmetal, I have silver 17s now so I'm going with gunmetal on the 18s, gotta switch it up every once in a while.

8.5 with 35mm will clear the stock struts by a few mm but definatly will not clear any coilovers.
