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

Just want to verify that a +32 offset will work.

Thanks

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!
