I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front.

9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years.

As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice.

I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears.

I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.

I know a guy with 18x9 +22 on the front of a 32 gtst, needed quite a lot of guard work, tyre stretch (215) and camber.

Not sure what your current set up is, +35 won't be as much, but still a fair bit of guard work and camber.

9" +35 will rub on the suspension. R33 GTR wheels are +30.

ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices.. 

 

If i get this - will this fit all around:

Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?
