Question 18 x 9.5 rims won't rub, right?

18 x 9.5 rims won't rub in the front...right? I'm thinking of Y2ks. I know they'll be fine in the back...but I'm just curious about the under full steer...

Rims don't rub... .tires rub. Whether the tires will rub depends on the correct offset of the wheels, and the width of the tire. For a 9.5" wheel, you are going to be looking at offsets in the 48-56mm range. Put a 275/35-18 tire on that wheel, and it is going to sit in the wheel well pretty much the same way as a stock WS6 or SS 275/40-17 sits. And they don't rub.

well..I'm in the rim buying mode and used the wrong syntax. Sorry. I'm just glad to know the TIRES won't rub. Thanks for the info.
