Even though it's just the front barrell I will be replacing?

I'm running +20 all around right now on my 19s 8.5 and 9.5 without rubbing issues right now. I already did some fender mod like rolling

okay... so get your story straight! lol.. your first post states both front and read...


okay so just apply the +18 to your front wheel then

regarding bumping up your 18" to a 20"... just think and visualize it. pull up the tire mfr site and compare the tire sizes (because 20's are larger then 18's)

its a mm game. - use your judgment.

my IS may be a few mm's off then yours... our fender wells, our camber... there's so many factors

it seems you know what your talking about so bust out the calculator and do the math...

WOW I wasn't trying to **** anybody off here. I might have forgot to mention that I use to have 19's then jumped to 20's then now I have 19's again but I could not pass up the deal on these 20's so I got em. I have experimented with spacers on my old staggered 20's so I know how or what limits I can go the mere question I had was of the offset after putting onnew barrells. Your probably right that our fender mods wheel offsets are mm apart so I give you credit on your knowledge but it doesn't give you any right to talk to someone assumming that they don't know sh@t, know what I mean so if you want to please reread the explanation on the first post I would really appreciate it, I would rather stick to the topic then leading into a debate on who has the bigger hummmmmm!!!! Thanks for all that has responded positively.

Here let me reitterate my statement maybe this is where you got confused. On a 3 piece wheel you have a front barrell which is the lip then the face of the wheel then the REAR barrell I'm still only talking about 1 wheel.

Default How much offset or less offset do i need?

okay found a set of 20x9.5 38 offset for the rear would that be close to flush ?
or would i better off going for 20x10.5 with 38 offset in the back? and use the 9.5 ins the front?

Cool. Just wondering if the extra 0.5" on the inside would cause any problems.
