I'm not for sure, but I think as long as you only go up in width and don't go up in diameter, your ride quality shouldn't suffer, I'd think it'll stay the same but your cornering ability should go up as you have bigger contact patches with the road.

A 30 Offset with a 8.5?
You must be pretty darn close to those fenders lol

You got any pics?

Good info to know, I was getting a little worried about anything below a 35 offset and a 8" rim.

when i was 35 8.5 at 245 i had to roll the rear fenders, that was only cause my drop was so aggressive

how much does it run to get your fenders rolled? or did you do that yourself

BTW the fitments on the link Greg posted is what you can safely run on your car. Anything else and your asking for troubles.

The 9g has lots of room for running wide wheels, but it would require some camber depending on width and offset. But how wide are you wanting to go? How aggressive do you want you fitment to be? What style are you trying to fit into?
