Hope you have no care for handling and/or traction

Comparing 18x9.5"+25 to the stock AP2 wheels...

Front:
gain 1/8" clearance inside
poke 2 2/3" farther out

Rear:
gain 1" clearance inside
poke 2 1/16" farther out

With stock unmodified fenders, that'd be like using 68mm spacers on the front & 52mm spacers on the rear!

Serious modification would be required.

I feel a strange sensation of numbness. I have seen so many posts like this, I have stopped caring about trying to convince people hella-flush is a terrible idea. So I say, "Go for it"! Let us know how it all pans out.

The narrowest tire you can safely run on the 9.5 wheel is the 245/35R18. It is still going to need a lot of work. I would not want to be on the same street with you if you run a 215 on the 9.5 wheel.

I'm starting to get there. It's an absurd fad.
