Will 18x8.5 running 235/35/18, 235/40/18, 245/35/18 fit the front. My car is not lowered and I have heard using wheel spacers can mess with the suspension. Being that these wheels are +35mm offset I don't think it would be too big of a problem on the front since the OEM wheels are +35mm as well. For the rear I would like to use the 20x8.5 running 275/30/20 or 275/35/20. Now OEM rear offset is +22mm on a 19" wheel. Would these 20" with the +35mm offset cause a problem with suspension, rubbing the wheel well, or some other concern that I might not be aware of yet. Would there be a way I could use the wheels in the sizes that they offer. Thanks
YOU WILL NEED A SPACER IN THE REAR..10MM OR 15MM WOULD WORK WELL. YOU CAN GET THEM FROM...Wheel Spacers | eibach.com/america THEY ARE HUBCENTRIC.
