Default my rims offset said 25 . is there anyway i can change it to higher ?

so i have 18x9 for all 4 rims and 2 rims offset is 25 and the rest is 12. End up the 4 tires stick out side like 2 inch and keep rubbing . i think i have problem with offset so is it possible to do something with the offset that can make the rims stick inside the fender ?? thanks

you could shave off a few millimeters, but not inches, someone correct me if I'm wrong..

get your hands on a fender roller

Yeah it depends on the wheels. I had a set of Work XD9s that were had 10mm taken off, bringing the offset from +25 to +35

Well, when i first got my wheels they were sticking out like crazy. So i decided to stretch my tires and get the camber kits. After i stretched the tires and the camber kits install, all i did is roll and pull my fender. Never rubs after that

Good luck with your stuff (:

Your offsets are too aggressive. You would have to get smaller tires and hopefully you're dropped.
