Front rim sizing questions

Can I run a 19x9 et44 on the front of the car? If not what sizes would fit in a 19 or 20? Looking at the bbs ci-r wheel and not sure what size will fit the front

I suppose you could but then you’d need a 15 mm thick spacer to get it back to the stock offset.

The stock front is 18x9et29, 19x9et29 and 20x9et29 or, removing the diameter, a 9et29 wheel for width and offset. A common aftermarket front is 9.5et22 which has the same frontspacing as a 9et16. So if you wanted a stock look you’d run a 9et29 and if you wanted a flush look you’d run a 9et16 (not aggressive, stock camber).

Is this a street wheel setup? What size rear wheels are the ci-r offered in? Stock rear is 10et40. Commonly used rears are 10et30, 10.5et36, and 11et42.

So pretty much some guy has a killer deal on set of rears in 20x9.5 et40 I will be running it at the drag once in a while since the tires I’m gonna mount are some drag radials that fit those rears but I just don’t really know how to find the correct fronts keep in mind my rims currently are the competition 666m rims at the moment

A 9.5” wide wheel won’t allow you to run a proper rear tire for a f8x on the street. You definitely won’t be able to run a wide enough tire for the drag strip. Also, you’re stuck running a 20” rear with a short sidewall - don’t you want the tallest possible sidewall to maximize launch grip for the drag strip?
