Anyone actually running 18x9.5 fronts with 6.5"+ BS?

Are you trying to run an 18 x 9-1/2" rim with 6-1/2" to 7 1/8" of backspacing?

Is that \ + / or / - \ Camber?

You look a little too far down on compression.

What I have seen on wider than 9" rims is that the tire is 285/30/18 instead of 275/35/18
