Crunch time

[Mystery1]

So I'm actually about to go ahead an perchance some new wheels
rota grid r , 18x9.5 + 38 offset
now all i want to know its self is will it fit on my 08 lib wagon
i also know it depends on what tyre I'm going to get , but am i setting my self up for a lot of trouble with the 38 offset ??

[Mystery1]

in other words who is running 18.9.5 what problems do you have

[GONEWALKABOUT]

im running 18 x 8 with +42 offset and im a-ok

thats pretty wide but i can only see 18 x 8.5 at widest?
PCD 5 x 100?

18x9.5 will require serious camber and pumped guards / quarters

Unless you have adjustable camber tops with at least 2.5 degrees camber up front and 2 degrees rear, it will be a struggle

You will also need to run some stretch - like 235 tyres on 9.5" rim (recommended is 245 to 265 tyre for a 9.5" wheel)

Your offset will also need to be +38 or higher to avoid poking too much

I'm running 18x8 +38 and had to roll all four guards and dial some camber into my coilovers to get them to fit properly... you sir are in a world of trouble

I think in this case 'crunch time' is literally what is happening with a 9.5" wide rim

So in all my excitement I've gone ahead and bought them anyways , I'm getting a set of bc fully adjustable coils witch should sort the camber issue ??
As for the guards they are already planned: booked to get them rolled
It's diffinatly doing to poke however who knows the nsw legal limit for that ?

[dr20t]

Nsw legal limit is zero poke past guard line

[Mystery1]

So if the guards are rolled / pulled / flared , there is no issue then ? Haha
