How horrible will this look?
Ok, so I ordered a set of wheels that i'm thinking about sending back already. I just can't seem to picture these offsets to decide how they're going to look but it just doesn't seem right to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. They're 18x8.5 +35 front and 18x9.5 +35 rear. Doesn't seem right, anyone have any input?

yeah this is serious as it gets man. I just realized what the offset was on them after I had already ordered them. I'm just glad I didnt pay in full up front. I really can't figure out what offset I need to go with?

I really really really do not want to run spacers. So if I wanted to run 18x9.5 front and rear, what offsets would I want to sit as flush as possible without rolling my fenders?

If you want to figure out the offsets you need for a specific wheel that's different from the "norm" around here, just use this:

wow... no research before buy = the fail
cancel the order and do some research for god's sake.. then buy.
p.s. i wouldnt do spacers, but then again i would never run those size wheels...

risky business... yes those are the wheels. Motormouth, thanks for the info. 3hree5ive0ero.... thanks for the thread I can refer to. Ginobetterfly....no i'm not going to run spacers. For some reason i've always had something against spacers. If I'm going to buy a brand new set of wheels then i'm going to buy something that fits the way I want it to, to begin with. That's the reason why i've cancelled these. I like the overall style of the wheel, just not the offset. Thanks everyone for the help!
