9.5" wide front possible?

Ive been reading for a while now and searching hasn't helped. Is anyone running 19x9.5" wide on front? I have seen 19x9 on the front but I'm trying to find out what offset would allow 19x9.5 in the front.

Yes it can be done, you need a ET of 35 or less and the car will have to be lowered. Look through the official slammed thread, there is a couple people running 9.5's but with stretched tires. I will be running 9.5's up front in about a week just waiting on spacers and my coilovers to be installed.

Thanks. Thats probably the only place I haven't looked since I won't be lowering my car. Seems to be a couple people are running 9.5 with a wide range of offsets. I want to run 19x9.5 all around and don't know enough about offsets to understand how 9.5 with +20 to 9.5 +35 both fit.

You are going to need 19x9.5 et 30 minimum up front and you will need a 245/35 on it for a slight stretch.

35 would work as well, I test fitted it with 35 plus there is a guy running 9.5 +35 if you dont plan to lower your car i would not recommend this as it will poke out and look funny.

I am currently running VMR V721s 19x8.5 and 19x9.5... I am thinking about changing the front to 19x9.5 +33. I cant see it not working. Im planning on using my current 245/35 tires that I have so there will be some very slight stretch.. Im not a huge fan of stretch or camber, hence my 275/35 rear tires. But my rears are set out to +37 right now and pretty flush and I like the more concave look to the 9.5 vs the 8.5. I am going to be lowering on coilovers at some point soon.

You're running 275 on your rear 9.5??

It probably depends on what suspension you're running as well. If you're on coilovers, you may not have the same clearance if the spring is in the way.
