18x9.5?

[Mechie3]

I won't be using these wheels since I sold them last night and am shipping them out tomorrow. I quickly fabbed up some spacers so I could see how they fit before I lost my chance. FFR told me that forgestar doesn't make a size that fits the 818. Instead of finding a matching front wheel, I decided to get all new wheels. Made out $50 ahead on the wheels, but lost $130 to shipping, but I don't need to strip and powdercoat the wheels I want and they're $300 cheaper a set so overall....I'm ahead (actually back on budget, lol).

18x9.5 + 48. Took 1/2" worth of spacers to clear all the suspension. You could go a little less, but not much. I only had 2 x .25" spacers for my test fit. Side panel was spaced to 13" from the shock eyelet as shown in the manual. I didn't do an alignment either, just how things were slapped together.

No guarantees from me, but it looks like with a narrower tire (ie, not a 295 that could fit, but a more conservative 255) it would fit.

Is it me or the top of the rim goes quite inside the fender? Meaning that the rim could go outwards more (bigger spacers or smaller offset).

[Mechie3]

It was cambered in at the top. You could go smaller offset. I bought these used so they were what they were. The wheel was close to touching the shock, the lower, and the upper trailing arms.

Wonder how much tire we could fit with the VCP trailing arm...hmmm

[Mechie3]

I don't have the VCP arm, but have one that looks very similar. Not sure how the dimensions compare. The biggest issue was the rim being 1/4" from the spring. It was slightly farther away from my trailing arm.
