Def rub in the rear.

Front will probably rub too.

i am running 19x9.5 35 offset in my rear i had to run 225/35s and roll and quaters

Im running 18x9 +35 w/ tires at 235/40 and I rub. Still need to roll the rears and I might be good to go.

Are you lowered any?? If not, you can do whatever you like. Cus 4x4's dont rub lol j/k

8's need to + 42-45mm and 9.5 need to be 48-50mm and 10's must be 55 + ..Hope that helps

thanks alot guys you all really helped, especially you lrd...im sure i might still have to roll the rear but know i what offset would be best for the width...

boostin_is 03-13-10 05:23 PM

what if i decide to go with a 9" wide rear wheel what offset would be best ? and what size tire would be best for the rear for a 9" or 9.5" ?

RCPnoi 03-14-10 07:54 AM

i have 9" in the rear with +20 which sticks out about an inch
and i use 215/45 so if you want it to clear i say anything above +25 should be good with that setup

boostin_is 03-14-10 06:17 PM

but do i have to use a 215 tire ? my car is turbo and i need traction...

^naw, get the 265's but use a much higher offset and roll the fenders

boostin_is 03-15-10 12:30 PM

how high offset you think would be good ?

white_is 03-15-10 06:24 PM

8.5 +45ish with a 235/40/18
9.5 +55ish with a 265/30/18 (or is the right size 265/35/18?)

You might need to roll or just shave your fenders a little.
