I'm running 255/40/18 tire on 18X9.5 +35 with a 10mm spacer up front and a 275/40/18 tire on 18X10.5 +12 with a 5mm spacer in the rear and I still rub the fender under full compression on front. Rears are perfect. You could run the 18X9.5+15 with a shorter tire but if you keep OEM diameters, you will rub the fender. You can always do a 18x9.5 +15 square set up and do the same size tires all around with a spacer only in the rear if you're willing to take the risk of rubbing the front fender.

If you are wanting to stay with staggered wheels, do 18X8.5 +35 with a 15mm spacer and 18x9.5+15 with a 10mm spacer.


Just an fyi as you seem to be a little confused about spacers. If you have a positive offset wheel, Ex +35 offset, and add a 10mm spacer. It makes it a +25 offset. It does not actually add to the offset. It subtracts it.

100% will work, but will need a pretty big spacer

Worst case you can sell them

Thanks for clearing that up :tup:
Yea I dont want to be rubbing too much of course

Are there any negatives to running a large spacer? I don't see why that would be an issue Waizzz? Like you say worst case scenario I'll just sell them haha

A good bit of people are running 20mm and 25mm spacers on the oem base and sport rims. I have not heard of anytihng negative on here.

I really want you to snag these so I can see if I like them haha! What color you thinking?

i'm running the raijins on mine. 18x9.5 with 35 offsets all the way around. no spacer up front and 30mm in the rear. i'm also dropped on eibachs. i'll post a pic in a bit

What tires are you running? I would definately like to see pics.

I would just go with a square setup and get 18x9.5 (+15) all around, no spacer needed but you will need to stagger your tire setup

245-40-18 front and 275-40-18 rear would be what I would run

running 255/45 in the front and 275/40 (or 45) in the rear Nitto's xxr i think, there should be pics in my build thread:

I'm gonna get the black ones probably. I definately don't want to be taking the turns at 75 (speed limit in the area now :tup:) and feel tire rub and blow out... I'm not dropped or anything, so I did not suspect our stock suspension was that soft under full load. so perhaps I should change it to "as flush as can be with minimal fender rub." The stock 18 are just much too sunk in, particularly in the rear.

I'm liking 18x9.5 + 15 on all 4 corners.
