Waizzz? Im not doubting Chrischhorn here but I'm welcoming all opinions

I'd like to stay 18 for the price...
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
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

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

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 ) 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.
