How meaty? 18” will provide the best shot at that. Or meaty as in “ non stretched” ?

I am using stock wheels and installed spacers in the Rear, 1" and the wheels in the rear appear flushed. I did not bother with the front because it appears almost flush.

Default Square set up 18”

Is it possible to get a nice flush fit with square set up? I really would like to be able to rotate my tires to extend the life of the tires. Thanks in advance 🙏

What’s flush on the front won’t be flush on the back. You’re going to have to use spacers to push the rear wheels closer to the fenders.

I was thinking of some 18x8.5 all around, what’s the best spacers for the back? Thank you for the reply.
