Anyone ever mount 18x9.5” rims up front??

I came up on these 2007-2009 Shelby GT500 rims (M-1007 S-1895 )but all four are 18x9.5” I pretty much bartered for, they are beautiful but not sure if I can use them. After reading a few big wheel and rim threads I don’t think it’s possible

Other threads have maxed out at 18x9” for the front. But has anyone that I haven’t read about yet been able to get the fronts to that size? I know Large Marge did a staggered 17x9” up front but wasn’t sure if he was making everything out or not...

If anyone knows a link please share!

I’d say no- those wheels are over 7” backspacing. Maybe with 2 1/4” spacers and fender flares.

With a properly thought out set of custom spacers and a 26" diameter tire like a 255/40R18, you should be able to make it work.

I'm running a 255/60R15 on the front of my 71 with no rubbing issues. That's a 27" diameter tire.
