18x9.5 +40 offset for rears

[opti0n1]

will this set up work for my rears in my 03 ep without doing alot of work to it...sorry in advance tried to research but im a complete idiot when it comes to stance.

Even with that high of an offset, your gonna need to stretch, camber, defiantly roll to get them close to tucking. Thats pretty wide.

^this

has anyone gone that wide?..i know some members have gone with 9
my guess is cambers gonna be somewhere around 3

Dang, that's gonna be expensive.

Use a wheel offset calculator:

I had 17x7.5+50 and on the rears it rubbed on the inside of the wheel well and rear suspension. Comparing those to the 9.5+40 they will stick 15mm further inside the wheel well so you're screwed. The outside fender clearance would be no problem.

U think u drive an s2k? Lol. But yeah, its going to run on the suspension.

okay so if the inside sticks in 15mm more than urs did and the outsider fender clearance is no problem then it should all be fine if i add 15mm or 20mm spacers?

Yay got them to fit..thanks for all who input now i just need to roll them fenders to get it slammed.

will do..yup just roll fenders because they will fit flush with this much camber i put on them but i plan to switch the 25mm spacers i have to 15mm so i will have little less camber......oh and the fronts are 17x7.5 and rears are 18x9.5

yea just roll the fenders thought about flares but i dont plan on running the fronts widder so i decided against it.

[opti0n1]

i guess ill post up my progress on trying to get the rears fit so for future reference people can see what they need to do to get these to fit.
pics of test fitting the wheels to see what i need to do


looks like ima get some 15mm spacers a camber kit and roll/hammer out the fender.

Does it hit the rear trailing arm too? My 17's were all over the trailing arm at the bottom, but no rubbing on the suspension or gastank.

Do you have any pictures showing how much it pokes out?

yea it berly hits the rear trailing arm, it doesnt rub on the suspension but only the gastank and trailing arm.

Don't forget to load up the suspension a little too, (using a jack, etc.) to actually see where the wheel is going to be as if it were on the ground.
