well....I'm running some Work VS SS right now with 18x8 offset 51 FRONT 225/40 and 18x9.5 offset 64 REAR 255/35 and i get some rubbing up front..I'm flush all around.


I wanted to custom order some LM's and wanted to see what type of offset i'll need to not rub.

The higher the offset the more room you will have for the bigger tires. In the 18X9.5 I would look around 63mm and for the front around 50mm offset.

I have LM's and in the rear they're 19x9.5 with a 55mm offset and they're barely flush.

But after I trimmed my fender lip and moved the bumper bolt back, I can tuck the wheels into the fenders without rubbing.
