If you have coilovers with 2.5" diameter springs you can fit 18x9 front and 18x10 rear with tire sizes 255/35/18 and 285/30/18. This keeps the overall wheel and tire hight within a few mm of stock.

9's and 10's are fine...but if u are ordering the gt-c's ro gt-7's be prepared to wait a minimum of 45-60 days seeing as how mackin industries can't keep up w/ the demand for the wheels...

damn really. well im more concerned with wheel clearance.



im on stock suspension right now i was gonna get a greddy sometime this summer b4 i went on to suspension... think ill have issues?

im fitting 18x10 50+ mm offset on stock suspension and no rolled fender!

I am running SSR GT3 on my 3rd gen. 18 x 8.5 front and 18 X 10 rear.

The only problem I've had was rubbing on the left front fender. I had the fender rolled and its been great. If you are going with 9s up front be sure you have the proper offset.

rfreeman27 08-03-2003 08:46 PM

whats the offset on the front? it should be like 50ish for 9's

jspecracer7 08-04-2003 03:53 AM

good thread. How about you guys with 17" rims running 8's and 9's? Or with 8.5's and 9.5's?

rfreeman27 08-04-2003 09:35 AM

I think Justin is running ssr comps in 17x9.5 all around. I dont know the offset though

rfreeman27 08-04-2003 03:32 PM

i think +47...can i get a confirmation?
