I know I should have gotten 8.5 fronts but its too late. Bought some used wheels that are 18x9 front and 18x11 rear. I was hoping to run my stock 225/40/18 fronts and 295/30/18 rears but I fear that the front 225 will look "stretched to bead up on this wide a wheel. If I go to a 235/30/18 front will I have trouble moving the rears up to the 315/30/18 as the dimensions of this new combo is within acceptable tolerances for the AWD. I just want to know what the 225 might look like on a nine and will a 315 fit on the rear with 32mm offsets. Help ASAp before I buy new tires.

The 225 on a 9 will not look good at all...pretty stretched out

 

also, 315 is borderline at 11et32, if there is rubbing it will be slight

 

I've seen some wheels that have pretty stretched tires and it can look good. I don't know what degree you would be at but a little stretch is bad at all imo.

 

my next set of wheels that are arriving in a few days are 9" front 12" rear ...tire combo 245 front 315 rear

 

John,
What tires will you be running with these wheels?

 

Michelin PS2's

 

I don't see how you'd have a problem with going bigger, or just going bigger in the front and keeping the 295s in the rear.
