Does anyone have a 9.5" wheel on the front. If so what is the offset you are running?

I also run a 9.5" front wheel. I run a 265-35-18 tire and get some rubbing at
parking lot steering angles. I don't know the offset, but if you call Complete Custom
Wheels, they make them and know what offset to make.

Great thanks for the responses! I'm trying to get 18" track wheels. I currently have 19" wheels with 235's and 315's. I feel that the fronts just don't have enough grip, especially under heavy braking. I don't understand why so many are using this setup???

Yes. CCW will make you good 9.5" fronts and 12" rears,
and 18'ers have many more better tire choices. But tires
and width aren't the whole story. You need 2-3 degrees
of negative camber to stick well in corners...

I also run a 9.5" front from CCW. They would know the offset---I don't. Have run Hoosier 275 R6 and Michelin slick 27/65. Need to roll fender wells and you'll get some rubbing on inner fender liners but nothing serious. May need adjustable camber plates to gain your neg camber at the top and keep the springs off the tires.
