AHem...
I'm assuming you're going to do a lug conversion right?
If that's what you're doing, removing the adaptor plate and running wider wheels with a lower offset is going to make this car look proper! The people that are saying "It's only half an inch", I don't think you quiet understand what's being done here. I'z shall explain!! Dom can yell at me if I get this wrong. All measurement are going to be approximate.
Dom's old wheels were 18x9 with probably a +42mm offset. He used about an 18mm adaptor plate to reach a final offset of +24mm. While this gave him the stance he wanted, the wheels didn't fit the "Stance". Reason being, the spacer is what did the work and not the wheels. When you use an adaptor plate this thick, you MUST run a high offset wheel or your final offset is going to be WAY too low and your **** won't fit, lol. High offset wheels of this type generally don't look good, especially when you're going to a Stanced look.
Now, with a 9.5" wide wheel with a 30mm offset and no adaptor plate, the outer lip of these wheels should sit within' 1mm of the old wheels making the Stance look identical to the old setup from the front and rear of the car. But here is where the difference is. Because there is no adaptor, the shape of the wheel has to change in order to get the center of the wheel back to the hub. So, we take away 1/4" (6.25mm) for the additional width of the wheel, then take away 18mm because we got rid of the adaptor plate. So, what this gives us is an additional 24.25mm (a ***** hair less than 1") of additional concavity!
For those of you who still don't get it. It's gonna look sick.....

Next question, will it fit? The outer position of the wheel is going to remain almost exactly the same, so we won't talk about that. The difference is going to be on the inside of the wheel. The difference in offset is 6mm and the wheel is 12.5mm wider, so he's going to add approx 3/4" to the inside of the wheel. Thoat sounds like a lot of extra wheel in there..... Guess we'll have to wait and see, haha.

this is correct. if i had 9.5 rims, id still run 235 tires for a little stretch and the fact that i like traction

who cares about traction...the real safety issue is a 235 being too wide and rubbing the fenders/quarter panels. the stretch itself? idk how many people have to stretch tires before you get the idea but...it's been done a million times and i've been on the same stretched tires for a while now with not the slightest issue.

looks fine to me :shrugs:
And he's not doing a hub conversion lol. there are TWO delta's with conversions. One is my cobalt, the other is a blue Redline.
He ordered the wheels in his lug pattern.
His meaning = suck my dick
