I was just wondering if anyone on here had these specific rims... same color, and offset with some pics. Also, if they have any rubbing issues, what tire dimensions, and what tire price will run me....

offset sucks for the rear:wall: not bad for the front, but could be better

well, what's the offset on your wheels? Will they rub if I get them, and what if I roll the fender wells?

9" with 38 offset in the back won't work without throwing a bunch of money at the problem. I'd skip it unless you got extra mod money and like a challenge. Rims look cool though...

mine are 38MM front and 46MM rear. lets say i can never lower the front without the tires hitting the fenders on dips. already tried:cry:

on the rear, very very slim chance youll be able to fit 275s on the back either without jacking the rear up. a 275 with rolled fenders on a 38MM wheel, will most likely still hit the fender

so while I'm looking for 18's I should look for

18x9.0 ET46MM (REAR)
18x8.0 ET??MM (FRONT)

I don't have a problem with rolling my fenders, and most likely won't lower the vehicle (the bumps and dips and places to bottom out in my town are all over.)

Hummina, you wheels are 18x8.5 and 18x9.5. These are 8s in the front and 9s in the rear. On these wheels, the front will stick out 6mm LESS than yours and the rear will stick out 2mm MORE.

These are by no means ideal offsets, but they will work with fender rolling in the rear. People should realize that there is a difference between 8 and 8.5, and 9 and 9.5. A 9in wheel in the rear with a 45mm offset sticks out 1mm LESS than a 9.5in wheel with a 50mm offset.

didnt even notice that. now i feel like a jackass:wall:

It's cool... you weren't being an ass... you could have been like :search: instead of answering my questions... I'll prolly get them, just got to do the necessities first (brakes :cry:). When I get them I'll post pics up here.

If I were you, I would look around some more for wheels with 9in wide in the back with a 45et. That will fit nicely.

I have the exact same rims as JCSGTO. The fitment looks freaking awesome. You will need to do drag bags and trim the fender. I run 275/35/18 BFG DR's on the rear. You could do the 5/16 lift pedders springs and bags like me. Only under a severe load and perfect traction at my power level have they rubbed. I do not have my fenders trimmed.
