Default Hrrmmm. I'm just wondering if there'd be say...
0.3 - 0.5 inches clearance on the inside that could be "utilized."

Default I may have to make a call to AMD, out on the west coast to find out how wide of a wheel they...
ran before they had to go with their custom suspension setup.

I'd king of like to run a 18x9.5 with 255/35 or 265/35 rubber on it... I'm pretty sure that would fit without (as much as) an inch or poke, though. I don't really want rubbing issues, so the best thing to do is bring the wheel further in, which is why I'm trying to figure out how much room there is between the wheel and any inner suspension bits. I may have to go do a test fit of some wheels, next time the car is up on the hoist.

Default Oh snap! That's a full 9 mm further in than my previous setup. Do you know how far away your wheel
is from hitting any suspension bits? Seams to me that with the design of wheel, you could run a 9" wide setup in the front without issues. Makes me wonder how close I could come to getting a 9.5" to fit.

Thanks a million Patrick!
