Is there any way to fit an 18x9.5 with a 40mm offset?

[blackgoat90]

I've found some wheels I like and the only offset they offer for 18x9.5 with the correct bolt pattern is 40mm. With fender rolling is there any way i can get these to fit? My car will be lowered an inch. For the fronts i was going to put 18x8.5 with the same offset and i just assumed those would fit but if not that would be good to know. Thanks in advance.

Machine 5mm off the hub. :dunno:
I run 19x9.5 w/45mm offsets. They rub on extreme bumps.
But I'm not lowered an inch, and I DO run stiffer springs.

Hmm well I just realized that buywheelstoday.com says they will fit. I'll be lowered but im getting 18s instead of 19s which might give me more room. My springs are stiff too btw. Are your fenders rolled?

They say they fit because they want to sell you wheels. A 275 will fit like shit. I have 18x9.5s with a 45 offset and 275s and I had to grind the hell out of the fenders to make it work. I'm still going to get 3-4mm machined off the hub.

how much $ we talking for that machining?

For the rear. 40mm is too little. 50mm is just about perfect. My RUFFs are 45mm, and would rub without my 5/16" Pedders drag springs.

They will work on the back. Im running the same thing. Drag bags will cure the problem. I will be getting those in the spring. Right now I have those spring adjusters in there and Ive only rubbed a couple of times. Those are 275's on the back as well....40mm offset.

You could lock out the rear suspension and run 345s if you wanted. That doesn't mean it's smart.
