Can you put the 18x9.5 +40 in the front?

I was planning on 18X9.5 +40 with 245s all around, but im wondering if that would fit in the front.

It should fit, it would be quite aggressive though. They will stick out a little with
255/35/18 tires.

This has the 9.5 +40 on the fronts.

How did you like the handling of the staggered setup?

Oh!! a brother from another mother

But, I'm so jealous I didn't get the "ROCK" giffy

funcheung... they took around 6 months

shu5892001... handeling is still great, it's even much better.. wider and better tires, stiffer and lower COG, handles great

thanks guys for the comments

Actually you are right they are 40. I was given offset for 19".

This is my favorite color + wheel combo. Beautiful.

Does getting this wheel always take this long? What's the reason behind it?

MVJ1975 · 10-16-2012, 01:20 PM

In most cases, these need to be special ordered from Japan in the size/bolt pattern you want, and since sending a single set of wheels isn't economically feasible, you have to wait until enough orders come in to justify shipping them. Thus the wait.

If you get lucky and the exact size/pattern you want is in stock here in the US, you can get them much quicker, but that rarely happens.

funcheung · 10-16-2012, 01:50 PM

yea they have to have a certain amount of orders before they start making/shipping them. told me the 18" ones had a major delay, and asked if i wanted 19". 19" is too big for my taste or else i woulda got them 2 months ago.
