I've done a search and there isn't really a good answer yet. Most of the post say something like fender flares and such..but the offset was different in their questions.


Ok..the wheels are 18x9 with 45 offset. I know they will fit in the rear..but will they fit up front. I've asked around and people are 50/50 on it. They say they will because of the offset.

So I'm here asking yall...since yall know best.

They will most likely NOT fit in the front. The original wheels are 8" wide with 48 offset, and many people rub the strut with the inboard edge of the tire. Plug 9" wide and 45 offset into this calculator, and you will see the inboard edge moves in 10mm from stock.

Wouldnt count on any 9" wheel fitting on the front, reguardless of offset.....

You could send 2 of them out to be narrowed. It worked for me. ;) If you go that route, your new 8" front wheels will now have an offset of +32mm. They will probably stick out from the fender just a little bit.
