depends on the tire you want to run. you can manipulate the tire and wheel with offset.

what tire size do you want to run and what are the offsets of the current wheels?

Take the wheel off and see if the offset is stamped on the back.

If there is no numbers on the inside back of the hub, you can measure the backspacing in inches and then convert it with an online calculator.

The internet is your friend!

I check them front and rear and they both have a number 38. Front is 18x8 and rear 18x9. Could the offset be that number 38 on both??

front = +25
rear = +32

I would post a picture of the back of your wheel though, it should be cast either in one of the spokes or the mounting face.
