I want to put some 18x10 wheels on the back, and 18x9 on the front. Will this combo work with my stock suspension? It's not lowered at all, but I do plan on a saleen body kit donw the road some time.

Anyone have this wheel combo? Will this work, or is there rubbing?

Thanks!

Just to give it a meaner stance. I saw a guy the other day with 18x10 on the rear and 18x9 on the front. Looked awesome.

Should I not bother in your opinion?

i think 10's are a little wide, 99+'s look more like road cars, then strip cars, you should go for the road racin look

So 18x9 all the way around should fit just fine?

It would be smarter that way as I could then rotate them.

Thanks guys!

There is no point on getting them that big, its a waste on our cars, a 9 inch rim with 295 40 on it will handle more than we will need. Just get better quality tires. BF Goodrich T/A G-Force KD. And a good setup for suspension is what u want out of it. But the best all around is coil overs. Unless u want jsut drag. But everybody has their own opinion on setups. I like anything from germany, thy have the best suspensions i think. Pick one from there.

What the heck are you smoking. A stock suspension will be softer than any aftermarket one. Getting an upgraded suspension will make the ride very rocky, but the best handling u will ever get out of the car.
