Will 18x9 fit on the front?

Too much of anything is always too much!

I have been back and forward on this so long now I am starting to go mad

Having calculated the cost to get new wheels etc, I have decided it will not not fit in my budget for the 2013 season (I still need to pay out for the body work etc as well).

So with some thought I am going to do something close to what you are suggesting. I will run next season with my current wheels which are 18 x 8 and 18 x 10 and widen the track with adapters - cheaper than getting new wheels etc.

If I run these wheels with 285/30 on the rear and 225/40 or 235/40 on the front, then that gives me a half way to where I am considering going and I can see if I need more corner traction for the following season or not

The issue with the front is that Michelin recommend that you do not go wider than the 225/40 on a 18 x 8 wheel. They say that at a push a 235/40 can be used.
