Hey Everyone
Looking for a little help. I'm waiting on the exact offset from the manufacturer, but I have estimates of F: 18x8.5 = 32-35mm offset R: 18x9.5 = 40-42mm offset. Please let me know if these will fit, if the offsets are not specific enough I will have that information on Monday.
Secondly, is it possible to stretch the stock PSS tires (F: 225 R:245) onto these wheels? If not what tire size can you recommend for this setup?
Thanks in advance.

They would fit based on those specs but would be very very aggressive, some like it though, personally I don't.

I now have the exact offsets 18x8.5 et31 and 19x9.5 et 44. Based on my calculations the rears would come out 1-1/8th (28mm) inches further than stock. The fronts seem ok, but the rears have 11mm less clearance. Will they rub? I'll be measuring tomorrow to see how far past the fender they would sit and if I can live with that.

HX excuse my ignorance but when you say very very aggressive are referring to the wheel poke? Can stock tires be stretched around the rears? Will this setup affect drivability?

Is that a typo or are you going with bigger wheels on the back?

On the rear, that size wheel would poke out 27mm more than stock...way way too much in my opinion, it's going to look odd. Personally I like a 10-12mm poke or maybe 15mm at most, some have done 20mm and they like the look but 27mm is really a lot I think.

Front is the same story, 26.7mm poke.

Yes, I was talking about very aggressive poke. The stock tires would work fine with the wheel widths, it's the offset that's not optimal.

yea typo. Thanks for your help thats what I was thinking. As much as I'd love to find a nice set of wheels I dont want the car looking odd.
