Sweet TONY! what if you removed the middle inserts? That's what I did to my '97+ front

im looking at these ruff 278 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ruff-...40980566QQrdZ1 the size is 18x8.5 front, 18x9.5 rear +20 offset for the front and rears. From reading thru these forums +35 makes the rims flush with the fender. So +20 should stick out 10mm, correct? I am going for an aggressive look, but would this look to aggressive for a stock body? Also can someone recommend tire sizes. I am willing to roll the rear fenders, but would rather not roll the fronts.
thanks in advance.

+20 should look good I'm a little biased to low offsets though lol. I would go with 235/40 front and 265/35 rear either with Falkens/Toyos.

You also have to also consider how low you will be dropping your car. 18x9.5 +20 on stock suspension will stick out like no other...

Slam it to the floor, and your setup will be sticking out 3mm more than what you see below:


Same thing for the fronts, with 8.5 +20, you'll be fine if you are slammed. Be prepared to roll front & rear fenders if you want to stick on a fat tire.

I am not running a lot of neg. camber either and I am using a 245 tire on a 10" wheel.

Good luck.

For all you tire stretching experts...

275 on 10.5" rim, is that considered a mild stretch or no stretch at all?

Mild Strech...I think it depends on the brand of tires...here's a pic of my SSR Minerva 19x10.5 with 275 Nitto 555's

I have 265 on 10.5 and that's a very very mild stretch.

The rear is 265 on a 11in wide rim...mild stretch. 275 on a 10.5 will be square/borderline bubble....I don't reccomend it.

So a mild stretch would be 265 on a 10"...

Here's 275 on 10.5, I thought it looked good.
