Will 18" wheels fit the boss?
Title says it all, gettin ready to pull the trigger on new wheels and tires. What 18's will fit? I want to square them out go maybe 18x9's 18x10's? Doing this for more tire sizes and options. Having a hell of a hard time finding the tires i want in the sizes i want in the 19". Got em all day long in 18's. So i just need to know what width and offset will fit and work to be able to run a 295 ish width in the rear and in front.
Thanks for any input.

This pic is the 18x10 wheel. Clears the strut but the rubber doesn't clear the stud well.

For an 18x10 wheel, you want around a +43 offset. That will allow you to rotate front / rear.
I run the D-Force wheels on the track with a 305/650/18 at all four corners. I do not have OEM front struts, so no clearance issues. 285x35x18 should clear the front with OEM struts no problem with this size / offset.
