Since you guys know fitment better than me...
How would an 18x8.5 +45 fit with a 1" addapter?
If that's a no go, what offset should I be looking for?
Looking for no poke whatsoever. I'd actually prefer the lip to be in .5-.75".
Is that possible with an 8.5 or do I need to drop down to 8"?

18.5x8.5 with the adaptor is going to push the wheels out 40mm. That's gonna poke for sure.

You're going to have a hard time finding wheels that are going to work for you while using a 1" adaptor. The stock wheels would probably be flush if they were pushed out an inch.

Use this calculator and play with some different setups and find one that fits you're needs. Just don't forget to take off 25mm of offset to compensate for the adaptor.

1 inch is 25mm so itll be a poking offset like mine was

cool thanks need to get rid of this 2LT lack of stance as soon as i get some dough

kinna been looking at some 8.5x18, maybe 17's but i think that will give me more sidewall than i want but didnt know what offset would fit...and depending on what brand tires i get i'll go with 235/40, 235/45, or 245/40(pretty sure those will are too wide and rub)

You and I are in exactly the same boat. I want a nice almost flush setup with no stretch, poke, rub on Pedders. Only difference is I'm 4 bolt...and you're probably looking to spend more than me too. I'm cheap when it comes to wheels. 800 total would be great


I LOVE the look of 14-16 spoke wheels like the bbs rs-gt but I've yet to find anything like them
in 18x8 for 4 bolt. They're all 5 bolt.

Anyone know of a cheap wheel like style?
