Thread for 18 inch wheels or less, post them up.

[JTR]

FYI - My wheels got ordered this weekend.
I did a bunch of measurements and compared lots of pics / setups and ran the math through the size calc. I think I can make them work, but just barely.

Expect pics of a REALLY aggressive fitment next week.

I'm sorry, 10.5 square setup is what you ordered right?

275/40/17 BFG comp 2s on 17x10.5 et 27 / 28 (depending on who you belive lol found conflicting specs on the wheels I ordered...)

According to my math, measurements and intense research, these should fit with about half a **** hair worth of clearance. haha

I'll post up details as they become available

6% more torque and the look i deem desirable.
Not a fan of hooooge wheels.
I am used to running 15s and 16s.
17 are already big for me...

I'm a fan of 18's myself, just can't find wheels with the right specs and the right price put together.

Well, IF my setup fits, we'll pretty much establish what the true offset limits are.
I searched far and wide and as far as I can tell - this is the most aggressive setup anyone has put on the car thus far.
Granted, people have gone wider, but not farther out.

In other words, IF these fit, y'all can use my baseline as something to compare your desired wheels to with apps like "willtheyfit.com".

SOOO glad i never listen anyone but myself. Lol

275 40 17s on 17x10.5 et 27 fit PERFECT with a 1.5 or lower drop all around. No additional camber needed either.

Will any of the 11-14 18x9.5 or 18x10 wheels fit the Base 2015 GT?

Something like an 18x10 with BackSpacing 7.2" (184mm) and Offset +45mm

I'd like to run 275 or 285 all around

Vordoven Forme 9

http://www.vordoven.com/collections/18-wheels/products/18-forme-9-hyper-black

I want to pick up a set of these 18x9.5et34 Vordoven Forme 9s with some 275/40r18 tires. Does anybody know if I will have clearance issues? I have had wheels that rubbed on big bumps before and it drove me insane. Vordoven says they have a large barrel and will fit the GT non-performance pack brakes. Any fitment advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm all for an aggressive offset, but I need full clearance because I will be tracking my car on occassion.

Thanks!
Shane

Your setup compared to mine:

Looks ducky based on the pic.
Without lowering the car they will poke out of the wheel wells tho.
Keep that in mind.

Hmm I don't want to go past flush. Any idea what offset is aggressive, but just inside flush?

Same setup but with 255s should be pretty close...
