18x9.5 front?
 
Ok so I had ordered Miro rims 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear just because I live how the concave looks, but Iv seen on sum posts where ppl say they fit 18x 9.5 in the front also but haven't seen any pics of it done, Is this possible on a stock suspension???

Going for the steam roller look?

I heard 9" is too close, so 9.5" probably won't work at all.

lol steam roller. perfectly used with your pic!

But really.. it depends on your offset if its do-able or not, i would say.

My friend's has 8.5 inch on all four corners with a 35 offset and it looks and performs perfectly.

Haha I guess you could call it a steam roller haha but I'm a sucker for concave and with the 9.5s the concave is deeper so I wouldn't mind the look if it's possible

+38 or +40 is the general offset people are using to get 9.5 inch wheels up front. Plenty of pictures of this setup, as well. There is a "Wheels and Tires" section on this forum ;)

Here are a couple threads.

Would I have to lower my suspension or anything? Everyone that has these has lowered their car

No, they have coilovers.

Somebody who used to be on these forums ordered a square setup of 18x10s... He's definitely pushing the limits.

Not as much as you think when you get a offset that isn't too low.

i currently am running 18x 8.5 up front and 18x9.5 rear +38 and 245s all around and have no issue with rubbing and i'm on kw v3s.

i can say from experience that a 245 35 18 setup all around on 18x9.5s +38 all around have no issues and fit with ease without rolling or pulling.
