I used the search but it keeps coming up with an error message. What is the stock offsets for 17s & 18s? I bought 4 TSW Laguna's 18x8 with a 40 offset and 2 18x9 with 45 offset. Will I have any figment issues? I'm planning on BFG 245 front and 275 rear with an extra set of 245 for the back. My springs are a little sagging after 4 years and my fenders are rolled and rolled tight. Thanks these wheels look great and there cheap.

Yeah...teh search function is down.
I think the stock 18" rear offset is +48.
If you're already rolled, you shouldn't have any problems with that set-up. You'll love the Laguna's...great choice!!

Brazen nice car and great wheels. I liked them enough to buy them also. Did you have any fitment issues? I saw on a post you did on 4-11 that you had 245 up front and 255 in the back. Was that done because 275 wouldn't fit? My tire dealer doesn't stock those sizes and he's a friend so when I order, I want to get it right. Have you tried to put the 9s in the front? They might fit with 265 all the way around.

I didn't go with the 275's simply because I didn't want to grind the lips. However, the KDW N/T2's run wide & I ended up having to modify the fender anyway. My next set will be 265 or 275 out back.
No way will 9" fit on the front. Period.

So is the stock offset 48 for sure? Is that both 17 and 18

Stock offsett is +48 for stock 17's as well as 18's.
You will need to roll your fenders to run the 275 bfg kdw2's out back, but it is doable.

So why won't a 9in rim with 245's fit on the front? I'm asking because I just ordered 4 9in Lagunas for my car and better change it if it's not gonna work.

pretty sure you could get a 9" wide wheel up front with proper back spacing/offset. and with a 245 on a 9" wide wheel the sides wont bulge out, and should clear the fender just fine. I have pedders XA's on the front of mine with an 8.5 wide and +35 offset, and i could go with a higher offset, right now there is about .375-.500 of an inch of room left, and could then get a 9" stuffed in there.

I wanted to do the 9" up front also but here's what I found. From the wheel offset calculator on another site. Our wheels are 8" @ 48 offset. Running the Laguna 8" @ 40 offset the wheel moves out 8mm. If you run. The 9" @ 45 offset the wheel will be in 10mm on the inside. I don't have any room between the tire and the strut with my stock wheels. So how could we move the tire in 10mm? The only way I see that wheel going on there is with spacers.

BAAADGTO how did you make out putting the 9" on the front? My stock fronts show some small rubs on the struts so I don't see how you can go in. You might make it with spaces but I didn't want spacers. I tried my 18x8 & 18x9 on the front without tires. The 9's were very close to the strut. If you need 18x8's and can't fine them then let me know I have 2 extra but I'm not hoping to part with them.
