Got offered a nice set of Cobra R 18x9 wheels. Just curious if they will fit with as close to stock height tires. Its mainly a black top Jeep. |

You could possibly make the 18 inch wheel work but the 9 inches wide is not going to work, way too wide when you would try and turn its going to hit everywhere |

They may fit but can you turn and flex? I know what 8 inch rims do and I've had to bumpstop the heck out of mine to not tear flares off Lets see the pics |

LOL! Nothing like turf tires. I goofed up on the tire size earlier they are 255/55r18 (29.1" tall and a little over 10" wide) I'm sure these 255/55r18 will rub in extreme flex. But if I offroad ever I'll just put the stock wheel/tire combo back on. They just touch where the body seem sticks out when I turn. No worse than the stock wheels and other tires did. Still haven't stole the camera from my wife to get a pic. I'm building a R/T version street/strip CRD Jeep. Kinda basing my build off the Grand Cherokee SRT8. |
