I have 18" front wheels wheels with Nitto NT-05's that are 9.57" wide.
They do rub on full lock but I have never had my wheels turned to full lock
except when making a u turn or three point turn. I have 19" Nitto NT-05
335/30 that are 13.31"'s wide and there are no interference problems. ((my
car is a 73 narrow body) When I buy new front tires I will get 18" 225/40's
that are 9.06" wide.I have my back space and offset written down somewhere,
but as I have mentioned before I had my wheels made by "True forged wheels"
made in USA and they sent me test fit wheels made to my specs to be sure
they fit properly. They have done several Panteras which they have featured
on their web page ( along with my car) My car is the white one with the red
brembo calipers on Pg 2 of the Pantera gallery .

I'm running 18x9.5 with a 6" backspace and plenty of clearance.A I
think
we could safely say an 18x9 could have anything from a 5.5" to a 6"
backspace and clear, but the larger backspace will put the tire
further
into the fender which might look funny.
