exactly why I like this forum over vortex I can say whatever the fuck I wantInstead of spending a fuck ton of time and money on suspension to fit those wheels, why not just get wheels that fit?
I’m honestly surprised there aren’t stickies in here with info like “this won’t work. Don’t ask.” type thing.
I’ve prob missed it tho.
Oh I’m aware of all that. I lived in Hawaii for a while where wheel specs would fail you on inspection, regardless if you got them to fit. I was just saying .. shocked there’s no “here’s what’s good for general setups, the rest requires a saw, hammer, and heat gun.”There are a lot of wheels that will "fit" if you try hard enough and spend enough money. The problem is if you're wanting one of those types of setups, no one on this forum is going to have the answer to questions like that, and shouldn't answer them unless they're going to get paid for consultation IMO. That's why so many stanced folks seldom share their secret sauce offsets and alignment specs.
A 18x9.5 ET30 wheel is 37mm or about 1.5" further out than the OEM wheel setup. With bags, a frame notch, disconnected sway bar links, a little fender work, stretched tires and a very precise alignment, that wheel will 1000% fit and look great. I repeat, to the OP, definitively they will fit. Knock yourself out.
And that is the first and only post needed for my upcoming "Not Aggressive, No stance, Super Safe" wheel thread.18x8.5 ET45 fits well and doesn't require anything drastic done to the car. It's the most common fitment.
