are you lowered...if not, shouldn't be too big of a problem to run them in the rear - they might rub, but you could just roll your fenders. (I have the 18X9.5 +20 w/ a 275 tire in the rear lowered ~2.5", not rubbing, and I didn't have to touch my fenders)

hope that helps,
Peter

 

Forget about the 8.5 +20s get the 9.5 +12s and run them in the rear. Return the tires and get 255 or 265/35s all around.

 

Yeah, 9.5+12 is doable on the rears

Might rub on a 265 if you are slammed

The reason the 8.5+20s are taking a while is because they were on backorder in Japan

I'm not sure who you are buying it through, as long as its an authorized vendor (I assume going through Work Canada), then you are fine.

 

run what you were going to on the back (the +20) and use the +12!!! they look great like that.

 

i run +12 all around slammed

you can do it...look through my posts for pics

 

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

 

oh so the vendor wasnt bsing me, lol
they typically are labelled as a slow vendor thats why i thought they were bsing but i guess i was wrong
well they arent that slow i just dont have an extra week or two to wait...
usually i wouldnt mind if its backordered cause what can u do
i could wait if i wanted, but my friend needs his wheels back and i cant drive for the last few weeks that i stay here, lol
