Thanks for the input guys. The range you made is pretty good atilla but read the following and you might understand my reasoning...

The "rules" are guidelines, so you get the idea and to weed out typical fits. Those running 11" wide wheels aren't going to shy away from posting, it will be pretty clear whether a fitment is aggressive or not. Lets see how many pictures are even posted in here...

Yes I'm aware there is a "range" and such but this thread is supposed to highlight the extremes, 18x9 +30 being the least aggressive of such...

Oh yeah, spacers are fine. Fitting a certain spec doesn't mean the wheel has to be that spec; ie: 18x9.5 +38 spaced to an 18x9.5 +28 is still fitting a 9.5 +28 wheel.

Rules/Guidelines:
Wheel width MUST be 9" or wider!
Offset MUST be +30mm or lower!
Post Specs!




18x10.5 +22
that looks beast! post some side pics.
