Front wheels are 18 x 9 with 6.4" of backspacing.

As I have said before - what works on the OLC may not work on an other car and I do not recommend trying to do the same without testing it on your own car first.

When we first mocked up the car, I bought a dirt cheap 18 x 8.5" wheel from summit with 6.25" BS and used those to test clearance and fit. With the exception of the outer tie rod end clearance we had no issues. With the extra 0.15" we may need to increase the steering stops a touch but we will cross that bridge when we get to it.

Subframe is "stock" ATS - SpeedTech.
