how many people on her actually drift on 18s up front? I seen a lot of pics in the wheel fitment thread but I'm trying to see who actually drifts on 18x9-18x10 up front. I have 18x10 up front and I wanted to drift on them without tubbing my front end. I have 20mm overfenders in the front and the offset is at 0 right now but I might bump it to about -10 to get more inner clearance. can anybody give me info on what they did and what needs to be done. I searched and couldn't find any info on the matter. all I see is fitting them to be flush nothing on performance and drifting on them. camber will be set at 3-4 degrees tire size is 235 40. the car isnt super slammed in the front to help with rubbing and I dont want to down size to 225 40.

Beat the shit outta your wells if you don't want to tub it. Get smaller tires up front.

Looks like you need more neg camber up front and smaller tires,

235/40/18 are 30mm taller diameter than 195/60/15. That's effing huge for the front. It's already been said, but you should probably start with a smaller front tire.

Mike Mykeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee hahaha.

Yeah, just look at wherever is rubbing and try to beat the hell out of the area with a sledge hammer.

I think downsizing the tire would be a good idea to cut down on rubbing.
