No offense to you but, you have been a member here since 06'

If this is not a joke question, return or sell the wheels. They wont/dont fit

I have been a member since 06 and it is most def a serious question ive never done much of any suspension or crazy wheels im changing stuff up this season and i got the wheels for a good deal so i bought em!

As for them not fitting ive seen alot of people run this exact setup but none of them ever post about the modifications they did and or parts theyve used!

Dude you did not do your homework. 18x10.5 +15 doesn't fit a 9 without major rear fender work. That fitment is more for a x and even that takes some mild fender work.

This would strictly be a looks set-up. No way to get this inside the rear fenders. I did the calcs. Im not the most aggressive, but this pokes out 1.09" further than my roll/pull

This reminds me of the local guys that ran the large CCW's. Increase the ride height & run a very stiff spring rate

Seriously, If you havent already, run this by the Stance group & get their opinion

Super conservative. 2mm further inboard than the stockers. Should work Ok as long as they clear the Brembos

Have you attempted to fit up the wheel to determine how much spacer you will need to clear. There are only so many choices 5mm/10/15/20

The smaller the better. PM some of the guys to find out !

You should let everyone know which wheel it is that you are looking at. Spoke design & offset determine caliper clearance

Your first post noted only an interest in a 17x9 +40.

Give us more info so the guys can help out

^^^For sure get hub centric spacers. All modern wheels must run on the hub vs the studs
