Wheel question which I probably know the answer to but just checking as they say

When I purchased my alloys they were as follows :

Two 18 x 8.5
Two 18 x 9.5

I take it the the 18 x 9.5's go on the rear of the car !?!

They should?!? But you wouldn't want to do this if you drive a GTR, you'll probably mess up with the AWD.

Be sure to keep the tyre sizes the same all round, so the rolling radius is unaffected. Staggered wheels are O.K on a GTR as long as the rolling radius is the same all round.
