So ive been looking at some wheels for a while now, found a pair that would suit mine great,
problem is the smallest size i can get is 18x9.5
has anyone successfully fitted a wheel that size to their fto?
i highly doubt it

It would be touch and go. What is the offset on them?

They stick out a bit 8O
Would look pretty awesome with a wide arch kit though 8)

Probably wrong offset if that's the case.

offset's a bitch, what the best one to get you think?
does increasing the camber on fto's have much influence on handling, or not really worth it?

It does, but is this in accordance with fitting larger wheels? (changing camber won't help fitting larger wheels that is)
Or just on a handling perspective.

the camber on the rear of ours is near 1 degree I believe, makes it look tuff, and stops the back end from stepping out, but is not good for the tyres, and does make things annoying on straight roads with grooves in them.
