that will sit as flush as stock rims, so deffinately not

try 18x10 18x11 Offsets from +10 to -20 depending on height, camber, tire size

Stock is 18x8 +30, http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp type it in and see what you will think of your new ones.

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

Your best bet is to find a 9.5/10.5 in the +15 to +22 offset range to be flush with the proper sized tire.

Never mind. I thought this was important. Important enough to say “thanks” or simply reply.

those sizes are too close to stock. the closer to zero your offsets are the more aggressive they'll look

just find a 9.5/10.5 setup with low to mid +20 offset. Will fit real flush, not hella flush with good alignment. no roll needed.

Please stop bumping old, pointless threads for the sake of your post count.

With a setup like this would you want to run 275's on the front and 295's on rear? I am new at this stuff to so just seein if I got the right idea here....

Im running 265/285 on a set of 18x9.5/10.5 +15 and I had to roll the rear fenders because they rubbed. I wouldn't go with a 295 unless your offset is at least +22 or higher

Personally, I run 245/40-18 front & 245/45-18 rear and it handles great! 275/295 is somewhat extreme. 245/275 is the most recommended size.
