Quick question
Just need confirmation that the following will work for my new rim choice.
18x8.5 w/ +32 offset fronts
18x10 w/ +45 offset rears
I plan on ordering the new rims/tires on Monday & want to be completly sure that this combo will work.
Much appreciated

As you may know, the lower the offset number, the more the tire will move out (factory offset is 45mm). My rims are 18x9 with a 38mm offset. 32mm will work, but they will be out a little more (but then again, you are talking about a .5" less wider rim, which equates to about 6mm). I have a friend with 20" rims with a 24mm offset and they are about even with the fender well and work fine.
At any rate, 18x8.5 rims with a 32mm offset should be very close to my 18x9 rims with a 38mm offset. Yours are thinner, but stick out more. Mine are wider, but tuck under more. Confused, yet?
I think you are good to go!

Thanks for the help. I didn't think that it would be a big problem, but wanted to dbl check before I plunk down some $$
