Hi mate

It all depends on alot of things? The offset being the main factor, and also the tyre stretch!

I would not like to run a 9j on the front as i can forsee clearance issues!

I run a 10j on the rear, and a 8.5 j on the front.


With a -5 offset on the rear and a 0 offset on the front

18x9 et35 won't fit on the front. The inner rim will hit the strut before the wheel bolts up straight

You'll need to aim for et25 and a stretched tyre. 10mm spacer + 215/40 or possibly 225/40 tyre will do it, but you'll need to space the rear by at least 15mm to match the front otherwise it'll look strange

Barry, 215/40 on an 8.5j isn't too bad to be honest.
On a 9j it's starting to look quite stretched. I don't have a pic of mine but I'll get one sorted of my mates 8.5 with a 215/40
