The fronts are really similar to mine, so you'll probably rub on dips and hard turns, depending on tires. The wheel sits out a 1/10's of an inch more than mine. My fronts are lowered to nearly no finger gap.

My rears sit about 3/10's of an inch further out than what you have listed. You could probably use a shave or roll, again depending on tires you plan on using. My rears are lowered to no finger gap.

They should fit, but why not trade me wheels instead? You'll never have problems with rubbing then.


On a more serious note, I'd say you shouldn't have any problems except for light rubbing depending on tire size.

I think you'll be happy with how the fronts look. The rear may or may not be flush depending on how low it sits.

Figuring out offsets is relative to what tire sizes you want to run and how low you want your car to ride. Tires will also depend on the look you're going for, for example, "stretched". Crazy stretched tires are really not my thing; my sidewalls are barely considered stretched. The smallest tire I would mount on a 10.5" wheel is a 275 to give you an idea.

One more thing, offsets will usually never come in the exact specs you want if you're buying used. Wheel spacers will play a large role in determining your effective offset; you won't know until you physically start mounting stuff on your car. Anything you find on the internet will give you a good idea in the direction you want to go; however, elements will affect your fitment such as suspension geometry, tire width from one company to another, ride height, etc...

I guess the first question will be to ask yourself what size wheels you want to get, specifically the width. The width will help you in calculating your offset.

18x8 20 offset in the front with 235/40/18 should be okay. 18x9.5 35 offset with 265/35/18 will fit easily. 18x9.5 20 offset will fit depending on how aggressive your roll is. To top things off are you able to manipulate your ride height at all?

I picked up my Weds today. They are 18x9 +20 and 18x10 +18. Can someone recommend some tires that will leave a good amount of rubber between the rim and the road. Car is lowered on Stance GR+. No rolled fenders but I guess I can get that done if its absolutely necessary. I need the rubber to last so no crazy negative camber for me.

Man that's going to be tough with those kind of offsets. Getting good rubber on the ground without camber is probably going to be impossible on those. I would recommend at least 245/40/18 for the fronts and 275/35/18 on the rears. You'll definitely rub with those tires, how low are you planning on going?

Hopefully someone with these offsets can chime in on this.

What's the width and offset of your current 18's?
