Default 18x9.5 40mm front or 57mm front (WS6)
Im ordering some wheels for my 2002 WS6...

The fronts are 18x9.5 and only come in 40mm and 57mm.

Which ones would fit or be the best fit?

Thanks.

57mm are closest to stock (I think) at 56mm

I thought stock was 50mm? Or is that for the rear?

Im reading the stickies, but could probably use more opinions, thanks.

go with the 57mm. Mine are 56mm and fit pretty damn good. 40mm might be to low. if there was a 50mm thatd probably be perfect.

Buy the 40's you'll be WAY happier. The 57's will tuck in too much.

I decided to go with a 17x9.5/18x10.5 combo.

These are the wheels, I think Ill be one of the first to have them. Nothing like black on black...
