18x9.5 Wheels... Too Aggressive?
I ordered some VMR V710s a few months ago, but they've been out of stock of the 18x8.5 ET35, so I've been stuck twiddling my thumbs.
I recently got an offer to take the 18x9.5 ET45 instead.. My friends suggested that this sizing may be too aggressive and stick out too far.
Does anyone have wheels this size? Any thoughts?

Go wide or go home! The B8 fenders will swallow up the 9.5" wheels nicely. In fact, I'm running 10" wide wheels with no issues at all. 8.5" are for girls, BTW.

I am running Forgestar CF5 in 19x9.5 ET 42 with 255/35/19 tires.
I need to take some better shots but you get the idea. An 18x9.5 ET 45 would fit fine. As Blake mentioned, he is running 10" wide wheels. The B8 has some pretty large wheel wells.
The Audizine wheel thread (HERE) has tons of info and photos to help you out too.
