Will I have any issues running an 18×9.5 in the rear on stock suspension, and eventually lowered an in on springs??

Thanks

what's the offset? though, I would go ahead and say that 18x9.5 wouldn't fit without running spacers. it will most likely hit the spring perch.

Stock suspension is pretty bulky. You might have an issue if you run a meaty tire. Im putting on coilovers to run 18x9.5.

I have 18 x 9.5 et 40's sqaure setup 235 section tires, and its a pretty stretched fitment. All stock suspension. I remember reading somwhere that you can squeeze 255's in the back, but no way they would clear the front. There is also some serious poke out front too.

18x9.5+42 with 255's and they fit the rear with a 1" drop on springs

No, they would not fit the front without stock suspension. (9.5's, stretched or meaty)

9.5 +40 or lower offset can clear with a smaller tire on stock suspension. It will be close but will clear. Will it fit your fenders? No, and will poke. But if you are getting coilovers in the near future then have at it.

If you want, put a spacer on for the time being until you can get coilovers. Or just go coilovers first.

Hey mate, I can confirm that 18 x 9.5 +38 rims wrapped with 245/35/18 tyres will not have any issues on stock suspension. However, the tyres do poke out quite a bit both in the front and rear

Shouldn't have any problems when you're lowered on springs as the natural negative camber you gain when lowering, will tuck the wheels into the wheel guards (might need camber bolts + rear control arms to dial in more negative camber)
