Anyone running 18"s on a wagon?
I wanna move up to 18s on my wagon, more specifically 18"x8.5" +48. Any wagon owners with 18"s in the baic?

If so, did you have to roll fenders? Is fender rolling an absolute necessity? Suspension setup?

I have 18x9 on my wagon. I have coilovers with a fender roll. I ran 18x8 with just a roll, not sure about 8.5 wide. I belive u can get away with just rolled fenders but not certian.

looking good bro...

I wouldn't go that low myself - i have the baby car seat mod in the back (2 of 'em). If i do end up with 18x8.5, i might just stick with my swift springs/stock strut setup and roll rear fenders. On my previous bugeye sedan, i had 18x8 225/40/18 with h&r coilovers and it was fun on some freeway onramps but not good on comfort.

I'm running 18x8's with +44 offset. 225/40/18 tires. Tein H tech springs and a stock wheel alignment. I only have rubbing issues in the back when people are back there. Other than that, I have no issues. Oh, the springs I have only lower it roughly an inch, if that.?action=view&current=Picture007.jpg&newest=1
