Take a look at Godspeed omega black with machined lip. Also another good wheel is the xxr 526 gloss black as well. I just picked up a set of Godspeed omegas, kinda excited to see them when they get here. Good luck bro!

I have a quick question, if I still bought the original rims I linked before, with the addition of spacers, would it resolve the hidden tire issue?


These are the specs of the original rims I want to buy are...

Size: 18"x 8"
Off Set: +45mm


These are the recommended specs...

18" combination:
Front 18" x 9.5", Offset +25 to +30
Rear 18" x 10.5", Offset +28 to +35

Would the addition of a spacer be able to equalize the offset enough to reach the suggested amount of +25 to +35?

Thank you for the great example terrasmak.
Thank you everyone for your help as of yet.
I'm trying my best to learn more each day

^ It would look quite funny because there won't be any concavity/lip on the wheel itself due to the 8 inch wide and +45 wheel offset, just lower effective offset will push the wheel out more.

Play with the calc I sent you. Offset and width work together. You would need a 50mm spacer or more to more it where it needs to be. Look at different wheels.

You could add a huge spacer but it would probably look weird with such a narrow wheel.

save up some more money and buy wider wheels with proper offsets. do some more reading and searching on the forum and keep your eye on the marketplace. Good luck and stay away from ebay
