How to fit a 18" x 9.5: front wheel OFFSET - Highly Opinionated Chime in :)

Anyone do this? I have done the following no RUB

Stock 8" wheel + 15mm spacer
Champion 8" wheel with 15mm spacer
Factry GT2 8.5" wheel no spacer

My source of inspiration from links: "My ( 19") front wheels are a 9.5" w/ a 255 tire, I dont know the exact offset but they are between 42 - 46. The inside of my wheel clears my coilover by about 1/4 of an inch maybe a little less. I can't even slide my finger between."

Got any offset/tuck/camber/wheel size (my cars runs 1.5 deesgrees camber in front)

dont hold me accountable for any wheels that you order and dont fit!!! haha

Best advice to you is to call up D2 Forged and order through them

Yes I have too much time on my hands. Well not really, but whatever time I have I waste on this damn car.

Based on the post here: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...8-5-19x12.html

Highcard is running an 8.5" wheel with a 13mm spacer ET 47. By my calculations a 9.5" wheel with the same exact offset of 47 will have 13mm inside and 13mm closer to the fender (which is now being used up by the spacer highcard is using). I'm going for it. It SHOULD sit exactly where highcard's setup is sitting.
