I've been trying to figure out the best wheel combo to get the most wheel under my fenders... I've decided on 18x8 for the front and 18x10 for the back.

Originally I was shooting for around +44ish offset in the back and +35ish in the front. However, today when I called to order the wheels they said the smallest offset they have in those respective sizes for 5x4.5 is +40 front & rear :( Will that work? I don't see how there is any way possible for that to work....... I mean, with a 2" difference in width, the rear would need to have a higher offset. The next step up they have for the rear is like +52 and that seems like it would be too much.

Are my calculations off or am I just SOL and need to search for a different wheel? :confused:

Thanks,
Adam

for the 8" front wheels....+20 will be almost flush. Don't go more than +30

for the 10" rear wheels.....+ 35 is great.

+52?? are you kidding. it wouldn't even bolt on. It'd hit ur suspension b4 u could put the lug nuts on.
