Yeah, the only reason I was looking at tyres that wide was to avoid significant stretch, and only looking for wheels that wide for the design, haha. I think I may have to settle with a flat face and a bit of dish to avoid overcomplicating things.

235 45 17 and 8.5 wide on the back and 225 45 17 8" wide on the front with king springs is the best setup yet. (I've tried a few in the last few months)
They don't scrub at all.
The ride is great
Don't have to roll guards or spacers or any of that crap.
And they look bigger then 17's to most people.
18's just seem like too much effort time and money for one size up. IMO

What offsets are the wheels you're using? I'd probably go 8.5 all round given that most wheels only go up in about inch increments.
