    Wheel Fitment Question

    I found a set of rims that I really like and would like get them ordered soon. I am wanting to run 18" on all four corners with 18X8 +45 in the front and 18X19.5" +45 offset with 5mm spacers. I have Wayne's rear arms and feel like I could change the spacers on the upper rear arm to gain just a little bit more room. Am I going to have any issues with clearance?

    It's been a while since I did all my research, so wait for further input before pulling the trigger. That said, the fronts sound fine. Low 42s were recommended, I don't see any areas where 2-3 mm will be a problem. I assume 9.5" in rear. The upper trailing arm is likely your closest clearance issue as you identified. I bet the wheel itself will be fine, it's the tire that might rub necessitating a bit less offset (bigger spacer). If you're careful with tire fitment, and/or play with hub spacers or the trailing arm spacers, you can likely make it work if it does initially touch. Wayne has experience with that wheel size, for more definitive info.
