Question Has anyone had fitment problems with 18"s?

I might just stick with the 17s, but wanted to know if anyone has 18s or has had problems with them.

Thanks,
Adam

as long as you have the right offset on the right width wheel, you will have no problems with 18s. ARD_MP5 has posted a fitment guide in the wheels/tires section of the forum. check it out and you can see what will fit. even if you decide you are going to stick with 17s, you should still take a look at it bc not all 17s will fit either.

Easy, if 7" wide rim with 215/35/18 then the offset must be a minimum of +45mm; if using 7.5" wide rim with same tires then minimum offset must be +48mm.

Yes I've had lots of problems fitting 15s, 16s, 17s, 18s, and 19s. I you follow the recipe you can't go wrong. It's guaranteed, unless you've bent a trailing arm or some suspension part. lol.

Peace.

You must have the right offset. Has nothing to do with diameter of the wheel. Only it's width and respective offset to that width.
