What ever one you chose you will onlybe able to lower the car 1 inch. Also you have to remove the brake bleeder nipple as the calipers are very close to the inside of the rim.

PS: you have to run their 9 inch wheel up front for clearance of the brakes. You can't go any smaller up front.

GOOD LUCK

Actually, the brakes clear just fine on both the 18" Forgestars. The only thing that won't clear is the rollerskate type brake pads. If someone has those, they need to do a pad swap first. Early 2010 cars don't have them. No messing with any brake bleeder nipples, there is plenty of room.

The 18x9 is the widest front because of the diameter of the wheel. Any wider and the backside of the wheel contacts the spindle, where it is bolted to the strut. Our spindles are just over 9" in height, which causes this conflict.
