Default What's the highest offset wheel you've fit in the front?

What size, width, and offset? (Looking for offsets in the 30s-40s at least)

Trying to determine whether a 18x9 ET38 will fit up front - my calculations indicate that it'll be tight with the strut, but looking for some real world testing.

Im actually interested too in this question. i want to buy rpf1s but the offsets they offer are either +15 or +38 in rear and +15 is a little too much poke in my opinion.

Won't fit. Even my 18x8.5 +38 winter wheels don't fit in the front since it rubs the strut. I needed 5mm spacers up front.

I knew Slider would be in here. And I agree, why would you want them to be tucked in? All the cool kids get low offsets.

My factory wheel is a 19 X 8 +35mm. When I measured my car, I had 6 3/4" from the mounting pad to the strut and 3 1/2 inches to the inside of my fender. Assuming about 3/8" from the tire bead to the actual edges of the rim, I calculated out a 9.5" wide wheel with a 50mm offset. I haven't had my car on an alignment rack so I'm not sure what the camber is, I can only assume since it's a track model, it's got the bolts installed (they weren't in the glove box).

Better take your other shoe off cause you are about 25mm off in front.
You will need a camber of +4 to make that fit.

I have 8.5" E26 in front and am about 18mm away from the stock strut.
18x9 E38 will move the wheel in 18.4mm. >>> NFG

sorry, just passing on what I actually measured. Maybe I should have that alignment checked.
