I have four Kinesis K18's, 18x10 +50 all the way around on the way. As time goes by I start to worry about the fitment. 18x10's are big as hell to fit in the front! Thats 285/30/18 all the way around. Should I worry? I know Maxcooper has done it, but I still stress on the fitment on the front....I dont want my **** sticking out like some lowrider on daytons. Talk to me people....tell me it will fit with no problems. Becouse if it doesnt I swear that I will sell that **** on eBay and buy something else. It's late and I will most definetly laugh at this thread tomorrow.

thanks

They'll fit, as long as you have 2.5-inch outer diameter coil springs up front...

If they don't you could always sell them to me CHEAP

18x10 +50 with 285s will look just right. The wheels will appear to be just as wide as the fender -- it really looks "right". They tuck under as the suspension moves, hopefully enough to avoid contact. If you can adjust your ride height, start high and work your way down to avoid big fender/tire collisions. If it starts to hit before you are satisfied with the look, put some stiffer springs on. It is silly to have big rubber and then have to *****-foot the car around. I suggest running something stiff like 650/400 springs if you want to eliminate the fender gap. Stiff sway bars will help limit travel as well, without hurting ride quality too badly. Your car will have a stiff, punishing ride once you get it all sorted out, but that is better than messing up your fenders. Back to the positives -- your car is going to look great!

Thanks guys. Right now I'm running (2.5in) 550/450 - F/R spring rates, with the car not too low. I've been putting off getting a stiffer sway bar for a while, I think It's about time.... any suggestions on a nice sway bar setup?


Thanks
