Hey u guise!

I am looking for that lip of the wheel flush with the guard type fit for my next set of wheels.

From all my research, I have just about concluded that 18x8 +35 and 18x9 +35 are going to be pretty close.

Then I was looking at 9.5 all around for that really aggressive stretch tyre/wide wheel combo. Will 9.5 even fit in the front guard? would +48F and +35R ger me pretty close?
What are your opinions?

Can you tell us ride height mate? the specs you listed will be great, nice and clean, not crazy aggressive by any means, but it'll look good.

My mate Sem has run 9.5 all round before with a +25 offset and 225/40/18 tyre on all four corners. It's do-able all round, but you'll need guard rolling all round as well as bumper tab and guard liner modification as well as a slight pull in the rear to get that little extra clearance.

a 9.5 with a high offset like +48 will rub your strut and even +35 is pushing it. You'll need the lower offset to get more inner clerance then the guardwork to get more outer clerance...

its defintieyl do-able, just depends how extreme/$$$ you wanna go :)

Also, to tuck the fronts you'll need a camber kit. it'll help fit those big mafuc*ers in the front!

So it sounds like '18x8 +35 and 18x9 +35' will be the easy way out? Should clear on the insides and not require guard work?

Ride height is not silly low (1.7"F and 1.4"R) and I dont want to run any more than about -3 deg camber......

-3 is heaps man, you'll be suprised.

with an 18x8 and 18x9 setup only lowered 1.4-1.7 inch you won't have much camber at all...

running specs like that to make it look good you'll want the car low, much lower than 1.4inches. otherwise the wheels wont camber in and tuck, so you might get some rubbing in the rears due to the wheel gap and soft suspension...are you on springs?

run a 225/40 all round too
