CA 18x8/18x10 xd9 emotions

hey guys i'v been reading around and alot of people go with 17s for choice. i'm looking to go with 18s instead. i know alot of people have been saying the 17xX with +44 offset all around works or with +44 front and +38 or +18 rear works. does this apply for the 18s also? if not what offset is preferred? fitment wise.

my front fenders are the feed 25mm fenders.
my rear fenders have been pulled and rolled.

does anyone have pictures of the +38 and +18 offset in the rear? i want to compare the two to see which one i get if those ones even work with 18s.

Thanks guys.

You will get a better response in the Tire/Suspension Section.

if you have 25mm front fenders i think you will need wheels wider than 8" for the front, probably 18x10 all around.

Check out Ken's set up. He also has more info in his vendor section. As previously mentioned you're going to want to go wider in the front.

My set up. 18x10 +18 all around. 255's in front and 265's in the back. I need to do a pull in the rear, just have a roll currently.

Thanks

The fronts have no problem with the fenders. They rub very lightly on the front frame rail at full lock. I think if I had a 255 from another manufacturer I would be fine because the Advans seem to run wide. Or a 18x10 +20 I think would be good.

any idea if a +36 in the front would work better than +18?

It'll work, but it might look a little sunken in. Depending on the look you're going for, you might want to get some spacers.
