Whats the widest size rim you can have without any rubbing inssues??

I was looking at a 18 x 8" rim. I was wondering if these would fit fine. I have no idea what the offset is on these. What is the widest that u can go with no clearance issues and with what offest would that be? 18 x 9 fit??

thanks

18x8's will be fine. I think someone had 18x10's on the back with no rubbing. Don't know if he was using wheel spacers or not.

I have 18x8s and they are fine. It's the tires you use that can determine if you will rub or not also. For example, I have 235/40/18s on the front, no rubbing, but nice and wide. And on the rear I have 245/40/18s and no rubbling. However, I can't put the 245s on the front or they will rub, but since the rears remain strait they can fit a wider tire.

Hey 1max2nv, are you running 255/30/19s or 255/35/19s? Do you have 255 in front too? 255s are impressive.

The offset and the tire size will help determine whether it will rub.
