Hi guys!
I've got a bit of a dilemma here with the next wheels I want to pick up. From my research, I understand that 18x8 fronts are probably the highest you want to go, but unfortunately for the wheels I want, 18x8 doesn't exist. It only exists in 18x8.5 or 7.5.
My understanding is that the 8.5 rubs the inner fender, not the outer...so if I get a lower offset and roll my fenders/push up fender liner, would that allow the wheel to fit better?
I've seen people running the set up, but I really don't know if they're just dealing with the fact that it rubs or if they modified their fenders a lot to compensate for the extra width?
If push comes to shove, I'll go with 18x7.5; I figured the tire size should be 215/35/18, unless someone suggests a better alternative.
Last question is, my rear wheels are going to be 19x9.5 +38. I heard I should be running a 265/30/19 or 275/30/19, but curious if the 265 will look stretch or not?
Couldn't really find any photos for it specifically.
Thanks!
