Default 18" Help

Wheels I'm considering are offered in:

18 x 7.5 +35/+45/+48 5h x 114.3 Which Offset for the Front?

18 x 9.0 +30/+35/+45/+48/+50 5h x 114.3 Which Offset fro the rear?

Car will not be lowered, and I'm planning on running 225's in the Front, and 255's in the rear.

Your expertise is appreciated.

you need the highest offsets possible...a 9 +50 in the rear is aggressive and youll probably rub with those 255's...a 7.5 +48 up front should be good.

Lower the car. It will look very goofy with 18s and not lowered.

18x7.5 +48
18x9.0 +45

Those would be my choices.

I agree the 18X9 50mm offset is going to be aggressive and will need some work. You will probably have to roll the fender and run more negative camber.

Maybe 245's for the rear? They will fit the 9" rim.

I was running 18X9 OZ ultraleggras on my 2005 with 255's in the rear and I never had any problems. What do you mean by saying the +50 is agressive?
