going back and forth among wheels...

I also found a 18.5 with 38mm offset, I bet these would be tight up front...

what about a 18x8 38mm offset....

last question....

18x8.5 with 38mm offset in fr,


or 18x7.5 with 35mm offset fr

If I use the calcs I've seen on other posts, an inch is 25.4 mm if the wheel is 25.4mm smaller overall but has -3 mm offset less, it should still fit better than a 8.5 with 38mm offset.

I know it's smaller than stock, but only .5 inches and still supports same 235 I am accustomed to...

opinions and fitment advice please.

18x8.5 +38 and slight fender roll or else more than likely it'll yank the front fender lip outward sooner or later.
