will maybe just fit on the rear but front wont. i have 17X9 ZERO offset on front of my JB and it just clears the wheel weights. so a 9.5 +18 is no way.

as stated elsewhere, garry's car has 12mm 18X8.5 on the front and fits fine. thats about the outer limits of whats sensible on the front...

Ive got 18x10.5 +3 offset on the front of my widey. But sensible...... maybe not.
Theres only about 3-5mm clearance between the wheel and strut and they stick out past the guards a fair way :D But the tyres Ive now got on them are JUST inside the guards. 235/40/18, So they only rub when I hit big bump. Which is not very often :)


Looking VERY good Mike :drool:
Well done :beer

So having your widebody and knowing the size rims you have fitted at the moment what would be the offset for 18"x9" front rims which would sit the outside tyre sidewall nicely tucked just inside the guard (fill the guard) and what would you suggest for 18"x10" rears. I guess it is difficult to get exact based upon different rims as they might have the same offset but rim lip design may be varied?

Mate that looks Boss !!

I've said more than once that that would be a great colour for a Starion , especially a JD or a Widebody . It's an awesome red .
Please post some more pics when it's all together .

As for wheel offsets , I can say from experience that there are definitely 2 ways they are read so be careful . The safest way is to find a kind of wheel you like that are already on a Starion somewhere then you'll know it'll be ok . You can't trust catalogues .
