Will these fit.......
I'm looking to get a set of carlsson 1/6 evo 18x9 ET35.
Will I have any fitment issues in the front?
What's the best tire combo without going too low profile (nothing below 35 as the potholes here will kill the rims)?
Thanks in advance

I believe 8.5 is the widest you can go..... I had 19x8.5 et 35 and the inside lip of the rim had one millimeter clearance from the upper A arm mount. It never rubbed but my next set of rims I went to 19x8 and 19x9.

is there a particular reason you want 18x9 in the front?
it offers no performance gains... it actually probably a drag since its heavier
there are a few people here with 19x9 up front, but its very much pushing the limits on what the fenderwell will allow... you will most likely need to roll the fenders... maybe even hammer in parts of the fenderwell...

Rumor has it that my car is back from the body shop with F1 fenders installed and flared to fit 9.5's up front and 11's in the rear. I'll post a picture when I get one.

actually you are wrong. 19X9 in the front with 235/35/19 tires will not rub at all. It all depends on your tire brand, but I know for a fact, the NITTO555, KUHMO 712, P7000, and SP9000 do NOT rub.

from clkal:
i think the offset for our W208 is 37 or 38.

from clkal:
Our OE 17" wheels come with +37 offset, thats not necessarily the best option when it comes to larger aftermarket wheels though...

does that mean it would be unwise to put 18x10 et19 in the rear

Best common application could use a +35 offset, but, if you going with a 10" wide wheel, the +35 might not have the same great fit... You'll have to check with a tuner for those specs...

+35 may be good for 9.5 wide wheels, but maybe a 10" calls for a +27 offset...
