I wanted to know of this wheel setup would work well with a 1.2” lowering or if you thing the wheels or tire size should be changed. I just don’t want to Rub.

Wheels
18x8 front
18x9 rear
5x114.3bolt
38mm offset

Tires
235/40/18 front
255/40/18 rear

PLEASE POST!!!

That better not rub if I have 20x8.5 fronts w/ 245/35 tires and 20x10 rears w/ 275/30 tires ordered and on the way with a 1'' drop from the Eibach pro kit.

I think you're safe.

They'll fit with a bit of fender rolling. Try and stay over 40 offset.

seriously? damn....

i can either get 18x8 all around or 18x front and 18x9 in rear. Do u think it will be easy to get the 18x9 to fit in the rear? or should i just get 18x8 all around?

Both will fit but having the same rim all around means you can rotate easily.

I love the staggered look of fat in the rear and skinny in front.

That setup will work with no rub at all. I checked. If you go to 19 you will rub in the corners. REEEEEEAD foo
