Hows the wheel to spring clearance? Do you have to run a lot of camber in the rear?

Hows the acceleration the 275 tires? Hows handling?

Topics merged: same wheels with same staggered specs.

Could anyone with the 18x9.5 +40 please check if any of the AP or Willwood BBK fits?

It will fit for sure. I have stoptechs inside 18x8.5 +33. TONS of room. Even my 17x7.5 +42 TE37 replicas from Avid1 fit.

thanks! But now it's just more difficult to decide whether to run 8.5+33 or 9.5+40 at the front..

How's the fitment of the 8.5 +33? Mainly, how much more room is there for a wider tire like 245 or even 255??

Well I have the 18x8.5" front's and Wilwoods and I can say that for a fact the 18x9.5s will fit for sure. There is so much clearance for the calipers that it's actually kinda ridiculous. I'd say the closest the wheel comes to the caliper is about an inch...I don't have any great pics to prove it, but here's a pic showing the front's mounted up.

Nope doesnt rub, dis wheel was designed to specifically fit perfectly on our cars. I run 225/40/18 and 255/35/18.....but becareful the rims will poke out from the tires. I culdnt go any wider tires or else the rolling diameter will differ too much from the stock oem.
