Default How aggresive is this? Too much?

So I'm looking at maybe buying these wheels, but I don't know how much work it would would take to make these work; if at all. Anyone else running this setup/offset? I think the rears will fit with some work. It's the front that I am really worried about. Any info, help, or pics would be great! I don't want to buy these wheels only to find out they are going to be more trouble than they are worth.

Fronts:18x9 +31 Rears: 18x10 +68

thanks!

The fronts will need to be rolled or pulled, rears are OK at stock height. Roll the rears and some camber if you're lowered. You'll probably get better answers if you tell 'em what tire you're gonna run.

The rear won't be a problem, might not even need a roll depending on your setup, but that will take a lot of work to make the front fit. You'll need a roll, probably a slight pull/flare, stretched tires, and a decent amount of negative camber.

Why are the fronts so much more aggressive? I think it will look strange with a very aggressive front wheel and fairly conservative rear. If you are going all out, might as well run a spacer in the rear to match the aggressive front fit.

I agree. The front is going to take a lot of work.

I am almost certain that on the fronts you'd probably need to pull the fenders almost flat out unless you stretched the hell out of some 225s on it. Even then...that's a fairly low offset for a 9.

The rears shouldn't be too bad...if you're lowered a good bit I could see you needing to relocate tab and roll. Probably wouldn't really have to pull back there though.
