[sokudo88]

im looking at a set of 18inch wheels with specs:

18x8.5 +29 front

and

18x9.5 +29 front

i want to know if i will have any problems fitting these wheels on my car.
tks for any infos you might share.

the fronts will rub like no other, a little too wide and the offset is too low.

 

[sokudo88]

how about with +35 offset with same size? will that work? tks........

Yes it will, I ran this setup on my gold wheels a few years back with a
225 35 18 and a 255 35 18 with no rub, lowered about 3"

ok, one last time.

how about +36 up front and +42 in rear with 18x8.5 and 18x9.5....?

tks a lot guys , appreciate it..

yep, but I think rear + mid 30s is much better and will sit more flush, about a 1/2" or so

18x8.5" +36 front will NOT fit in my opinion. Basically take this picture below and move the wheel out another 7mm. I think you'll be past the fender! (This is my car and I already rub as shown below)

I definitely recommend you going with a 18x7.5" or 18x8" front max. Offsets for those, running a 215/35/18 tire would be +32 and +38 respectively.



18x9.5" +42 rear will be a "safe" offset. You can go as low as +29 with a 9.5" rear safely.

I recommend going to a 19" rear for the aesthetics too, but that's just my preference

someone responded on top saying...... +29 will not work for the rear with 18x9.5.....

You read their message incorrectly. He said:

the fronts will rub like no other, a little too wide and the offset is too low.

He was referring to the front only. A +29 18x8.5 will NOT fit the front.

A 18x9.5 +29 rear will be fine.

**Also adding to the confusion, you mistakenly wrote "18x9.5 +29 front" in your first post, when I think you meant "rear"
