I have Global west UCA and LCA, Wilwood SL6 Brakes. Here are the sizes of the wheels. Can I fit with spacers on front and rear running 285 or 275 out back with rolled lips and 255 or 265 out front?

18x9.5
7.375" backspacing

18x10.5
8.0" backspacing

To big man. 9s in the frotn and 10s in the back is REALLY pushing it.

I agree with Frank. Too big without running into rubbing issues.

sad day, wanted to buy the kinesis 18's that are on the for sale forum. Really good deal at 3k shipped. Pretty sure that those would run me near 5k to get new.

If I did a speedtech or AME front subframe I could throw some 10's out front right?

Yeah, you can SQUEEZE the 10 on the Speedtech subframe. I ran 10s with 295s on EmptyNest but had some lock to lock rubbing.

So between people using LSX combos what seems to be quicker on a track, AME or speedtech?

Well, the numbers say the Art Morrison will kill the Speedtech but Speedtech just won the Super Chevy suspension shootout in the autocross.

How's that for a non answer! LOL!

They are both great and I am lucky enough to have owned and used both, and DSE and Chris Alston and and and and...........
