Tire and Wheel Package Question
I am currently looking at a tire and wheel package that consists of the following:
18x9 30mm offset
18x10 40 mm offset
255/45 Front
285/40 Rear
Will I have any issues with clearance or wheels/ tires beyond my fender?

I am running 19 x 9.5 with a 40 mm offset and the wheel/tire combo is flush with the fenders. You should be in pretty good shape.

Alan, would you mind sharing a few different angles of pictures? I'd like to see what 9.5 +40 looks like. I'd really appreciate it.

Since I have never ordered a wheel and tire package I am scared that they will either poke out to far or tuck in to much.

Good luck finding what you want and be sure to post pics when you get them on.

Why did you purchase the panhard bar?

I bought one from AM, Maximum Motorsports with the spherical rod ends. It is a great bar, light and strong but it transmitted a little more noise than I liked. I replaced it with a BMR bar with the Poly bushings. I am going to sell the MM bar if you are interested.

This may be a newb question but why was the OEM insufficient?
