just want to hear people's experience and opinions. i want to buy quite a bit of nismo lmgt4's and i love the little concave that the 9.5 wide gives. lmgt4's are my favorite rim style (beside the bee r b5) and im a sucker for nismo

before placing an order i just want to have a rough idea if a 18x9.5 +30 (w/ atlest a 15mm spacer) running 235/40/18 tires would have major rubbing issues. from my friends experience 17x9.5 +17 (w/ a 12 mm spacer) running 215/45/17 (hardcore stretch but i wouldnt go that stretched) he gets rubbing issues on full lock only. when he told me that i came up with the ideas running all 9.5 around the car.

my suspension set up on the front are nismo coilovers and adjustable tc rods w/ -3 degrees camber and caster set to spec.

thanks,
jon

ok with a 9.5 +30 and 15mm spacer that effectively puts you at 9.5+15

with a 9.5+12 on a 225/40/18 (es100s & stance coils) my old setup, I barely cleared my coils with barely stretched tires.

Therefore with a 9.5+15 and a 235/40/18, it will be very close, the only dependent at this point will be the brand of tire and the type of coilovers you are using. Please also remember u will probably need a roll as well and for sure a wire tuck for the harness.

thanks for the input im a little less worried about any major rubbing issue just need to clean up the wheel well a bit and shouldn't be that bad.

im going to go ahead and place an order for 9.5 lmgt4's all around and run 20mm spacers w/ 235/40/18 front tires

thanks agian,
