Haven't really had a chance to check what sort of clearance there is to make use of up front, but thought you might know as you seem to know your width/offset fitments quite well  Been looking at a few wheel combo's recently, namely Varrstoen ES2's (staggered fitment 9" front/9.5" rear) in +12 offset. Offset calculator shows it will have a little more poke to fill the guards a bit nicer, but would also sit in a little bit more than my current 8" +6 wheels. Would probably end up using a 5mm slip-on spacer front and rear to close up the tyre wall to guard gap if I got these wheels anyway. |

A mate has 19x8.5 +15 and has 8mm clearance from the tyre to the upright. I had 18x8.5 -4 and I had 30mm clearance to the upright.

I've been looking at heaps of rims that are 9" up front at +12 but have been worried about whether they'd fit or not. I've used willtheyfit.com or something like that and while its fairly accurate, I was still a bit iffy. Thanks for clearing that up

Cheers for the info dude, it's a massive help! Looks like there is plenty of wheel options to choose from now after hearing that

I'm going 18x9 +10 and 18x11 +10 for my next set of wheels.
