Hey guys i know this is the wrong place to ask but i figured theres gotta be people on here who either know from personal experience or know some one who has one but my question is....... my friend has an 01 mustang V6. He just bought some wheels but the offset is way off there a FWD offset. He is not happy with them at all so he wants new wheels. The size he want is 18x9 in front and 18x10 in the rear. What offsets are needed for those sizes to be flush with the fenders???? Again i know wrong place but if someone knows can you please answer. Thanks guys.

cool thanks alot man really appreciate it. also i asked some time ago but no response but do you know if a 17x9.5 wheel in the rear will clear coilovers. If so what tire do i need to run. I asked on all four wheels not to long ago. The rear offset was +38. White RPS13 told me that the front would clear which were 17x8.5 +22 and to run 225/45/17 tires but he couldnt answer for the rear. I posted again to see if anyone could answer but maybe you can. again thanks alot man.

PS: The car is an s13 forgot to mention that. And just for more info the wheels im looking into getting are the GN Pro Racer + from 5zigen.

Nobody has helped you out with that rear fitment yet? Thats strange, I know somebodys gotta be running something close to that size.

if i ran a 9.5 rear itd be in the 20s somewhere, i think a +38 rear would be pushing it

plus itd probably look funny because the rear would be more sunken than the front

is there any reason youd be against just running the 17x8.5 +22 all around? thats actually the exact size ill be running all around when i get new wheels this winter
