Lowest possible offset

Hey guys,

Planning to get new wheels with the size of 18x8.5+30 Front and

18x9.5+35 Rear.

What do u guys think about the offset? Will they scrub if i lower the car?

And what size of tyre do u guys recommend?

Thanks guys..hope y'all can help me out.

Cheers.

+35 on the rear works fine, wont stick out depending on ur tire choice,
not sure about +30 on the front might be too low, I run 18x8.5+34 Front and 18x9.5+35 Rear no probs at all.

Did you have to roll your fenders with a +35 on the rear?

nope no rub at all, even with stock suspension, +34 at the front doesnt stick out, more like fills the guards, I use 225/40 up front and 255/35 rear, the rear sticks out an incy bit but no need to roll fenders, works fine.

really depends on the wheel, I have +32 and +26 with no rubbing, if I go with too big a tire I'd be hosed though

Rear: Lowered, +37 offset, 9.5 width, 275/30 tires = rub. Easy solution, roll/shave fenders.
