You DO NOT have a frame notch??
what is your back spacing ? 4.5 or more ?
ill be moving up to 17" front and 18" rear once i do my c5 front and l/s rear plate swap with e/ brake!
just waiting on the brackets have everything else

The 10" rim could fit without notching the frame all pending backspacing and offset.

you know those b/s numbers for an 18"x10" for a non notched rear ?
and any idea of how low we can go? have no problem rolling the lips or doin some wheel well re-shaping just dont want o cut a frame .. yet lol

i just looked at your build... All 154 dam pages yesterday lol. But GD those wheels fit soooooo nice !!!! i wouldn't mind being narrower on the tire and get lower and bigger diameter ..

I notched mine to the seam with 5.25" backspacing.

wouldnt mind a half/seam notch, thats seams lil more reasonable if i have to then say motorheadmikes inside frame boxing extravaganza ...

I'm running 18x9.5 rim with a 255/40/18. Just a comparable if you want it.

b/s numbers? if you dont mind

No notched frame, stock.

Lowered I believe 3.5" in the rear.

Wheel is a 18x9.5 with a 4.58 backspace and a 2mm offset.

I would have gone bigger tire and could have with spacers .. but not a fan of spacers.

You would hit the frame before you hit inner wheel well.
