To help you and others who answer this question out. Here are the available sizes and offsets --> http://www.mackinindustries.com/md/rays/Re...tc_spec.jpg.gif

They do not make a 18x8.5 or 18x9.5 rim in this style. Also you are going to have a hard time getting Endless brakes to fit as they are huge without wider fenders. These rims are also heavier than stock so performance will be impacted slightly.

You oviously want aggressive so how about 18x8 +42 (high type) and 18x10+47. You WILL need a fender roll, large amounts of neg camber and stretched tires. You may even need a spacer to fit your brake kit. Others may chime in but here is atleast a starting point.

lol.

first: they dont make 18x8.5 or 18x9.5.. only make 7.5/8/9/10/11 (Face1)

for endless ud need face 1 and A disk 8+42. and i really dont think it will clear still. the endless are HUGE brakes. it might need a 5mm spacer which will turn +42 into +37.

as far as the rear, all the face1/face2 offsets are agressive..for a 9" the lowest offset i see is 42.. which is 20mm further out than a safe fitment (almost an inch)




to sum a long story short, they wont fit. the ONLY wheel ive seen fit endless on stock fenders w/o having a crazy offset is the Work Meister S1 3 piece. or i think the prodrives with a small spacer work.
