Hi all

the wheels i was wanting to buy are 18x9.5 inches all round with +45 offset. I wasn't sure if these will these fit in the soarer guards cause my soarer had already been lowered when i bought it.

here's a pic of the wheels

Geez, 9.5 inches up front wouldn't be too pretty.

Most people on here agree that 8.5 inches up front is about the limit. You would certainly want to do a test-fit before buying them to be sure.

Are they available in the same diameter but not as wide?
Even if they fit, you would probably notice a lot of tramlining with such wide tyres up front.

Hm, nice wheels! If I had the cash, I would go halve with you in an 8" set to pair with them!

I have 18x11+19 ordered for the rear...a good fender rolling and half inch pull will be in order to fit those...

Rob,
The only thing i could possibly suggest is to get one of the guys from Adelaide to see if they could go and try them on their car for you... and let you know if they fit...
I would help, but im not available for the next couple of weeks, my car isn't a TT (brake issues), and mine isn't lowered...But there are other guys on here that if asked nicely, might be able to help.

Good luck, and keep us posted

not yet, wheels are still on order but they're the same spec as Ueno's on his D1GP Drift Soarer
