      GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY!!!!
      I got the 18x9.5" to fit in the rear. I had to grind away the control arm a little bit, but it fits like a dream now! I cant believe I almost just gave up on trying to fit it...
      So now I have 18x9.5" rear with 265-35-18 (NO SPACER)
      Then on the front I tried a 235-40-18 on an 18x8.5" et 35 and it hits the strut... With a 12mm spacer it clears but then sticks out of the fender...
      I might mess with it more to see if it will fit, or I will just order the 18x7.5" et42 and that will net me 5mm more on the offset and .5" on each side.




      Fun Stuff!!!
      P.S. The motor is getting close to being ready to assemble. Autohaus sent me the wrong main bearings, so I have to get that straightened out, then its time to assemble!
