18x9: what's everyone like?

It's spring, QdM is soon, and I'm in the hunt.

Along with:

- FMIC
- Seats
- 21mm RSB (step up!)

Damn! I got the fever!

And, what offsets are you able to find?

I hate having sets of spacers!

probably custom (except for a rare few sets)

so think Fikse, HRE, Kinesis, CCW, JLine, and Forgeline, but I don't really see the point of a 9" wide wheel. the largest tire you're going to be able to put up front is 245 or maybe 255, and either of those tire sizes will fit on an 8" wide wheel. just my opinion...

from what I recall, the front offset has to be about 27mm in order to clear the strut with a 9" wide wheel.

I'm running a 9.5 in the rear with 265's...it is doable

now up front I'm runnning 8.5's with 235's

I had to use a machined down HR spacer (Hubcentric 10mm cut to 5mm, cut from the back side to keep the hub mount for the rims) to clear the Porsche brakes...but other than that all is well
