Aftermarket 18s Offsets

[frog_a_lot]

Who is running aftermarket wheels? And at what offsets?

Stock is 18x8 +56, I know we can go lower, but how low? I have seen people running 18x9 +30 and that seems to be OK without any other mods.

265/65/18 or 275/65/18 tyres and 2" Lift

Cheers

Use this link, fill in the details and it will tell you if it will rub and other things, easier to fill out and view details on a laptop than a tiny phone screen.

The upper ball joint looks damn close to things on mine with standard rims and 2" lift.

Going to a lower offset like a +30 rather than stock 56 will push the wheel 26mm further away from that ball joint.. the issue becomes rubbing on the guards with the wheel being pushed outwards.

Thats right, a bit dyslexic .............. I would be more worried about the change in stress load on bearings but that site would still give you insight into clearance.
