Default 18 x 9 +53 offset in the rear

Hey guys,


I'm planning on going with a 255/35/18 tire size on a 18 x 9 +53 offset in the rear...will it fit?

Thanks!

Yes it will fit.... 9" wide rim with +53 should still "tuck" if your dropped pending the sidewall of the 255's.....

Which tires are you going to run?...

If you run skinny tires it will.

63 offset with wide tires rubs.

Please check your facts..... you need to define "wide".... 255's will NOT rub on a +63 offset.

The question is regarding +53....

I have checked my facts with first hand knowledge! 255 BFG KDs rub even with grinding down the the screw that holds the liner in.

S02s (10" wide) rub as well. Quite a bit more than just little!

If you buy one of the tires that is narrow for it's rated size you might get away with it but if you have a tire that is full width or more then you'll rub
