This depends highly on the offset of the wheel. There isn't really a specific answer. I know for sure you can fit a 18x9.5 +25 up front on stock. I had them on mine lowered on sportlines for a few weeks. no rubbing up front.

that will fit. it will poke fairly hard, you will need to run either a 205/40 or a 215/40 so it won't wreck your fenders. also put a hockey puck under your bumpstop to prevent it from bottoming out.

Should be fine, i have stance with the custom rates so they are much more firm, but you would likely be okay.

For a 9'' wheel, +45 is mint in the back, unless you want poke. +30 works good in the front with camber.

My sig. Search for Team Dynamics also. There should be some threads.

Seen 18x10 fronts (unsure of offset) with 275s car had fenders pulled and rolled quite a bit and the pinch seam cut and folded out of the way. Rears I doubt they would fit without serious body work and clearancing.

Okay figured they were Team dynamics, I'm going to look for a new set of wheels for next summer. I want to run the widest slick I can for autocross. Kind of figured those were the ones being talked about but wasn't sure.

Here is a thread with my 18x9 +40's and 255/35/18. This is by far the best set of the 4 I have had on my car.
