[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 16811158, member: 117234"] I'll be very interested in your findings when you mock everything up. Today I tried one of my 18x10 rear FR500s on the front. They have roughly a 6.5 inch backspace and I had to use about a 1/4 worth of washers to get the spokes to clear my ATS calipers. I have OLD 285-35 Nitto NT555s them and the tire poked about 1/2 inch outside the fender and I had just about 1/2 inch of clearance between the tire and the coilover spring. It's also important to note that this was done with the suspension unloaded (cars stuck on jack stands) and unknown suspension settings. The spindles are set full negative and my CC plates are mid travel. Looking at everything I think in order to pull this off a rim with about 6.5-6.75 inch backspacing is needed and possibly small spacers added to get any additional suspension clearance. From there some rolling and pulling of the fenders will be needed as well. [/QUOTE]
