Fitting 18x9.5 et10

[kmikuta]

Hello all, I've decided what wheels I want and have two options for specs. The first option is 18x9 et33 which I would need spacers to be flush, or 18x9.5 et10. I know that stock body allows 18x9.5 et35 and they fit perfectly, but does the stock body pulled & rolled allow the extra 25mm of clearance? Not looking to be slammed or stance flush, but have a nice flush fitment on some aggressive wheels that I can still AutoX on. Any info is appreciated, thanks.

That's an inch.

Picture that.

That's a SIGNIFICANT difference when it comes to wheel clearance.

Depends what you're into. If you want hella bro bagged with bacon fenders it might be just right. If you want a clean, drive able, car with non-bicycle tires I would say no.

True, but running the 9 et33 will require at least a 20mm adapter because the wheels are 5x114 and I dont want to be sunken, but at the same time can't find any adapter less than 20mm, most likely because of lug bolt head clearance and the mounting surfaces are not dimpled. I will end up with 10-20mm of poke either way but going without adapters seems the safer and more efficient route to me. I realized that ken ran 10's and was able to pull enough of the quarters to make it work and his didn't get super wrecked, despite being on a softer coilover setup than I am.

I run 18x9 +35 5x114 wheels with 14mm to 12mm stud conversion and wobble nuts. Just need to drill your 5x114 lug holes to ~14mm.
