9.5J in the front

**alexk** · 15-11-2010, 09:53 PM

What is your opinion about 9.5J in the front ?

Does this has a negative effect on the steering rack by any chance ?

Cheers

I ran 9j on 265 35 18, and had no issues,

It helped front end grip no end, but did cause some "tramlining effect", but that was no issue.

Others say it will affect the bearings, rack etc, but I ran 9j 265 35 18 for a long time with no issues whatsoever.

I think you are running 9.0J next year. Inferior specification!

Are we talking about the rear CSL wheels on the front? Are they 9.5J?

**shimmy** · 15-11-2010, 10:46 PM

I trialed 9,5J on front using rear CSL rims but two issues!

1. Offset means it is almost impossible to run less than -3 camber. Even then they are tight on the outer arches

2. Stock wheel was a little heavy for my liking especially rear up front
