Work Emotion
Oki
Work Emotion Cr Kai

Should I order:
18"x8,5" +38 for front (mid taper)

Or go
18"x9,5" +38 all around (deep taper)

Can I use my old 225 tires on the 18"x9,5 for the front? (and mabe change them later with some wider)
And if I have goy it right, 265 will fit for the rear without a roll.. (18x9,5+38)

I highly recommend getting 9.5 all around; however, I dont recomment stretching your 225 tire around a 265 tire rim width

So 18x9,5 +38 on all four wheels.

Should it be
245/40/18 for the front and 265/40/18 for the back or 265 all the way? And will 265 in the front fit without roll?

Don't have work wheels dealers anywhere around her so I'm ordering them from Japan, need to get it right

If you don't plan on dropping 265 will be fine - so will 275. You'll be too high up to rub anything.

I'm a fan of tall sidewalls for some reason but IMO 35 sidewall should work.

With a 19x8.5 +42 you can go as low as you would like with no rubbing problems.

a 20 mm in the front and a 30 mm in the back would be pretty flush.

Running wheels without potential full stroke is borderline pointless. Need I say more?
