9.5-Inch Wheels up front...

Is anyone running 9.5-inch Wheels up front?
If so, do you have any "interference" problems?
Also, what offset are your Wheels?
...any 18-inch Wheels??

As I understand, yes, 9.5's will fit up front. Something in a 20-28mm offset should fit.

I am looking to go non staggered when I get new tires and was thinking of going 9.5 all around.

Does running 9.5s up front really slow-down steering?
Anyone running these??

I would imagine that 9.5 up front would slow-down steering a little but 10.5???

If you carefully read his post, it says 9.5f, 10.5r. As in, 9.5 front & 10.5 in the rear. And he's right, 9.5f & 10.5r is a very common setup for Coupes.

I myself will be getting 9.5 in the front & 10.5 in the rear. You can run 245 or 255 rubber on the 9.5 fronts without a problem. As far as offset, im not sure which one would give you issues up-front. But the "usual" & more common offsets for 9.5 fronts should fit just fine.

I suggest you look for people with similar setups. That's what I did before deciding on which size (width) & offset for the wheels I will purchase [in the future] for my car.

I know im being a little vague, but I hope this helps out

PS. The wheels I decided upfront are 9.5 +17 offset. They will fit just fine.

9.5f/10.5r is probably the most common/popular after market setup for the coupe.

Ooops, my bad!!
He did mention 10.5 rears!

I was wondering about the 9.5s and "rubbing".
Lock-to-lock...any??

I had to recheck the date of this post. I couldn't believe my eyes when it wasn't pre-2004
