18x10 on all corners?

All...

I'm still trying to decide whether or not to lose the Pentars and go w/a basket style wheel (CTR, FR500). So the question is...

Is anyone running 18x10 w/275x40s on all 4 corners?

I'm not (yet), but it has been done by many. +41mm offset will definitely get you there, as this is what the Roush 18x10 wheels use. I think the CT-R wheels are within a mm or tow of the Roush offset and they work, too.

Thanks, I'm hoping that's the case

The Steeda wheels have an offset of +45mm. I'm hoping that +/- a couple of mm's, don't make that much of a difference if I increase the width by 1/2 inch, but I would like some proof positive on this before I spend the money...

The idea is to put as much tire under the car as possible without exceeding the limits of the fenders and wheelwells.

Of course you'll see tread, but the tires do not pass the outer lip of the fenders or wheelwells and there is no rubbing.
