So from reading all this....it seams like a +45 will BARELY clear in the rear. And a +47 will fit perfect. Is this right? With such a high offset like 47, is there any clearance problems on the inside against the strut? I need to know the EXACT offset needed to tuck a 18x7.5 OR a 19x7.5. My wheel company said they could mill them down to what ever i needed before they shipped them. Im going to be running airbag struts by the end of March and will be tucking the CRAP out of my wheels, so i need to know the offset BEFORE i order my wheels.
