18x10's on front of lowered stang?

[19COBRA93]

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?

They may rub the inner splash shield slightly, but that's it. They won't rub anywhere else. My 295's on 18x10's don't rub.

Maybe it has something to do with the spokes hitting the caliper then? I don't know of anything else it could be.

I run 18x10s with 275s up front, and 295s in rear. Never had a rubbing issue, lots of clearance actually. Thinking about wider taller fronts next time. Im on the Roushs.

Thinking of going back to chrome too, idk

I have 18x10 +42 forgestars with 285/40's all around with an Eibach prokit and no problems.

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.

I just ordered those same rims from AM Those are the AMR 18x10's +48s right?

What is the sidewall percentage you're running there there? I'm wanting to put either the 285/35/18 Hankook R-S3's or the Nitto NT-01 275/40/18s on all 4 corners for running autocross and DEs. (Keep my 555s and factory 18 bullitts for the street).

The ones in the pic are Goodyear 285-40's. I also have a set of 295-40's that fit just as well.

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

Are those volks or the rotas? I love them either way, I plan to go with some volks in the future and I've search high and low for a coyote with some Jdm wheels. Love the look


edit: found out they are actually from europe

That's going to be a bit difficult. Anxious to see the results though.

^oh i know..........

With the extra room from the coilovers and the fact that im going to run adjustable a arms to really dial it all in, it should clear all, but not with much to spare......

Are these the AM Saleens? If so you think you could post some more pictures of the front, I have 10's on the back and want to get some for the front and run 285 all around

 

[Jeremy@AirLift]

^^^^Yes those are AM Saleens 275-35/18 Hope these pics help

my 10.5s with wrong offset poking and 2 deg of camber is about 15mms from touching my coilovers. good luck with 11s in front with high offsets

This picture looks sick...and I'm ordering 10's for the front now thanks for posting those pics

You guys make me want to sell my rims and go wide! I feel my 18 x 8.5's are too small now.

You won't regret it, you will feel like your driving on rails. I can't wait to get back into a 18x10 square set up again. Going aggressive though

i'm in the same boat as you. it's been done already for track application (what i would use it for), but you'd probably use it on the street, no?

picture below is of 18x11 front, 18x12 rears with 315/35/18 all around on vorshlag's car. i think that's 3.5° of camber up front. a 305/35/18 (i.e. toyo r888) should give you a little extra wiggle room compared to what you see.

this car has 345s on the back now, but it's just too much tire (14" wide) for the poor fender well. rubs pretty bad unless it's spaced out a bunch
