Just a quick question, I did a search in the forum, and 06GT4RAD says that he posted the wheel offsets, but I have been unable to locate them. I am looking to go 18x8.5 up front and 18x9.5 in the rear. Can somebody please tell me which offsets to order for the wheels.

Also, what do you think of these wheels, and does AR make a good quality wheel?

Thanks again for the help!

 

The stock offset for the 17x8 is 45mm and for the 18x8.5 its 50, for both of the sizes you are looking at with the most a 275 tire you could get by with anything from 40-55 snd the optimal range would be 43-50... I am running 18x8.5 Front +44 & 18x10 Rear +44 and it fits great... As far as tires 255 is best upfront but you could get away with a 275, out back a 285 but you might be able to get a 295 to work...

 

Sorry man i can not find that post either not sure what happen to it. Here is the info on my wheels I found it in an email i got when i was looking into my Foose Wheels.Cotc has covered it pretty well though it appears.

Thanks for the help, and appreciate the info!

 

18x9 with a 6.42" backspace (+36mm offset). The lug pattern is 5x4.5 (114.3mm).

 

I have those wheels, in 18x9. 255/45 all the way around. In a 9" wheel as long as your offset is 35mm or less, you'll be fine. Be warned, when you mount those wheels you MUST take off all rotor retaining nuts from your lugs or you WILL get wheel shake!!
