Aftermarket rim fitment?
Does anyone know if I would need wheel spacers on my TII for a set of rims that are 18x8 (front w/2inch lip) and 18x9 (rear w/3 inch lip)?

8.0" front with +38 is too tight - I think it's going to hit the insides.

9.0" rear with +38 is no problem.

If you're really set on those wheels, the good news is that you can use a spacer to make them fit up front.
You need at least a 1/4" spacer by my calculations.

yup.. you can only go 215 up front with 38mm offset because the will hit the springs if you get 5mm spacer then you can make 225

rears are good to go-no problem
