18x9 squared?

Curious if anyone is running a square setup like this, have been wondering if 18x9's will fit in the front. Looking at running 265/40r18 tires.

18x9 in the front should fit depending on the offset. I don't know a 265/40 will fit in the front though. I'm running 19x95+22 on a 245/35 tire and it has very minimal clearance to the strut.

Ahh, that's quite a stretch haha. I'm going for more of a meaty setup is all. Plus I know all too well how much more expensive 19 in tires are, and the roads are terrible in Ohio.

Your problem with the strut clearance is the 9.5” wide wheel in the front, the offset not that much. A 9” wide ET20 is a much better combo with plenty of space from the strut.
