As the title states, is anyone running 18x10's up front with frpp k springs or lower or does anyone know what the limiting factor is in the front for that width? The reason I'm asking is because American Muscle states on their website that you can't run 10 wide on the front. They also don't list the offsets on there.

Roush used to run 18x10 on the front on some earlier models with a +45 offset. I am hoping to run a 19x10. See post about forgestar figment.

I have 18x10 Shelby Redlines on all 4 corners with Steeda competition springs. They are a 41mm offset wheel. I haven't had any issues at all.

American muscle lists offset in the specs of each wheel.

Thanks guys. Guess I never noticed the specs tab on there. They are +45 so I should be good! I'll have some stock 18" fanblade wheels on here soon for sale :):beer:

Did you need the spacer to avoid rubbing or did you just want it to be flush?

i just put on 18x10 2010 gt500 wheels on the front with no issues, even with a 275/45 tire and no rub issues and pleanty of clearance.
my wheels have a 45mm offset and came from CruzinConcepts.

I was wondering the same thing. I was planing on running the AM fr500 18x10 all around but their site says it won't work. I'm buying eibach sportlines on Friday from a member. Is this too low?

i have 18x10.5+22 front +33 rear all around ... so im sure you would fit 18x10 easily given your front brakes dont get in the way and you can run anthing from +35-45offset.
im pretty low and they only rub on the fender. but i know mine poke out more than the sizes you're looking for so like i said i think you will be fine specially with that conservative drop.
heres a pic for reference

I ran 18x10 Roush wheels with 295's all around without an issue. Now I'm running AMR 18x10's with 285's also with no issue. No spacers either. I'm also running FRPP K springs.

This thread got me to thinking about running 18X10's on all four instead of staggered. You guys think an 18X10 with a +30mm offset with 275/40's would fit with an Eibach Pro-kit?

Edit: Or maybe even 285/40/18's

Is there any wheel fitment difference between the 05-09 chassis and the 10+?

You'll get tire rub with a +30 and 285's. They'll stick out.

No. Exactly the same.

I thought it might. What about the 275's though, think they'll fit?

I'm pretty sure they'll still rub. A +45 and +30 is a .59" difference. My 285's right now are right at the fender edge. Another half inch would put them out side of the fender edge, even with a 275. It would look cool, yes. But likely would rub at the rear. Especially on a lowered car.

Yeah +30 is a lot I guess.

I was wondering the same thing, since AM has there 18X10 GT4s on clearance for $99. They'd make decent track wheels on the cheap with 275/40/18's mounted. They're +45 offset too. Unfortunately the rep from AM told me they'd rub up front. I'm wondering if he's erring on the side of caution, or if they'd work with a spacer as stated above. Any ideas?
