Anyone running a 18x9.5 wheel on an SN-95? Any issues with fitment? I'm considering running a 265/35/18...anyone have a similar setup?

Awesome...I'm concerned about that extra .5 inch. Judging by the 275s you have, they would rub if it was an issue I'd think...Thanks for the post!

You got it. I'd say you're okay. But you're offset will dictate that b

What wheel do you wanna run?

And I did have the most MINOR scrubbing at full lock. Nothing to worry about at all.

I have 18.9's on all 4 corners. I think a 265 would run. I have 255's on the front of my car and it's lowered with intrax springs. At full lock it may run a little but nothing bad.

A TF wheel. Problem is the stepped lip only come in a 8 or 9.5. Narrowing them down to a 9 is more $$$. Just concerned that it may be an issue. But your post and the subsequent poster have alleviated my concerns...Thanks guys!

Been running real Ford Cobra R's (18x9.5) for years w/ 275/35/18 tires. Only rubs a minor ammount at full lock.

It will fit just fine..It will probably rub the sway bar at full lock, but you never turn that far anyway.

Damn, that looks good.

Agreed. TF does offer custom offsets. I want the wheel to fit fender flush while not rubbing. I wasn't sure if this could happen with a 9.5 wheel with a 265 wide tire but judging by the responses, I think I'm ok. Thanks!
