So i decided its time to start changing my car up a bit (getting tired of seeing my care stock lol), so far i got my self BC coilovers, waiting until the snow melts to put them in, now i'm shopping for some wheels ...

I was looking at getting Work DR9, i believe there the replacement for the XD9's, i cant find too much information about the setup people have done. I think i know what i want but i'm nervous about if it will clear my calipers or not

Specs of wheels i wants to do (looking for an aggressive look):
18 x 9.5 +23 (Front)
18 x 9.5 +12 (Rear)

For the rears i'm almost sure i'll need to put a small spacer to clear my calipers, but will the front fit without anything?, i am going to roll my fenders to make them fit better ... any opinions?

 

rears dont have BIG BRAKE CALIPERS to clear.
plus, you're going pretty aggressive.

to compare, the stock wheels are 17x8 +45

 

as you can see from the calculator, you're moving 14mm more to the inner strut housing and you will extend an extra 52mm out.

you will poke.

 

here is my car with 18x19.5 +22

 

Thanks a lot man, that helps, so it looks like i might go ahead with these specs, i was worried about not clearing but looks like i will with some poke, good to know, btw your car looks great

 

so heres another question, what would look nicer, having 10 x 9.5 +12 in the rear or having 18 x 10.5 +15?, i dont want them poking out too much either ...

 

^i like my set up square....meaning; all 4 corners are the same.

the fronts will be harder to fit a more aggressive spec'd wheel because you have less room to work with.


and check your specs....you are wanting to do a more aggressive set up than I have on.
which means, you will poke until you drop + camber it out + fender roll + cut fender tab.

 

justn you're running 18x19.5 all around?! you're an inspiration to even the hellaflush/stance guys!

OP, you're not going to have any problems with those specs in terms of caliper clearance. You're going to have a tough time fitting those wheels under your fender though.

 

alright i guess that's what i'm going to do, i'll stick to 18 x 9.5 all around, this is what i really want to accomplish
