Default Wheel fitment

Hey guys, I知 looking to purchase some aftermarket wheels and had a question about offset. I知 looking to do a staggered setup with 18x8.5 ET35 In the front and 18x9.5 ET35 in the rear. I致e looked around and people tend to run 18x9.5 ET45 in the rear but the wheels I知 planning on getting don稚 have that option. Does anyone know if this would cause any issues? I知 looking for more of a flush fit. Thanks in advance any help is appreciated!

Welcome to the forum!

What are the offsets of the wheels you are looking at?

For the rear I would recommend 18x9.5 +38...usually when you are around +45 then you are running a 10 or 10.5 wide rim. No need for that much offset on 9.5.
For the front you are good with +35...if they had a +32 or even +30, you could sneak that in...are you lowered or stock height?

thanks! As for right I知 running on stock height. The closest available option to the rear wheel would be 18x9.5 +35

If you run a 255/35/18 on the rear and stay at stock height you should be good.
Just stay away from tires with beefy sidewalls...like Michelins.

Default Wheel Offset 2022 ESH

I'm wondering whether I can reuse my 2019 Subaru Ascent aftermarket rims on my ESH.

The specs are very similar other than the offset. One site recommends the rim as a 8Jx18 ET45; the Ascent has a 7.5Jx18 ET55. I would like to run winter tires Michelin X-ice 235/45 R18's.

Do you think I will have any troubles with the Ascent's rims on the ESH?

Thank you again.

Garth
