10" +18 is about an inch to pull/roll. Might be better with a bit higher offset

Would a 18x10 +36 be easier to fit?

yeah, mine are +35 18x9.5 and all I had to do was flatten the lip a little, it also depends on what tire size you want to run. I run 245 and I don't have any rubbing issues, next set I would like to try some 255's though


To bad you didn't live closer I have a fender roller.....

I will definitely be there, as long as it is before the 27th and there is no driving involved... because I'll be in the Hummer

Eh, I have the Baby Hummer (the H3) with a 3.7L I-5 motor, and it actually does better on gas than my 8. I average 16-17 in town, 22-23 Freeway.

Since my 7 is by far the worst mpg offender, the bigger my vehicles get, the better the mileage they achieve. Go figure.

They denied me. Might have to call tomorrow to the regional rep and use that information for a suit. Wasn't happy I spent over 3k of my own money on replacing my motor. Even paid the extra 2k when I bought my car for extended warranty.

That money was suppose to go towards my forged rotation assembly (minus crank) and 60mm turbo for the FD

Sad days ! I can feel it when easy told me I needed a new engine I cried lmaoo. I didn't have money for a new engine but I saved.
