I understand 45 offset in the rear is fine for 18' wheels. But what if the only two choices in the front are 35 and 45 offsets. Would any of these work on a 18' 8.5 front? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the info Steve. I really want wider rims front and back but the maker only offers a choice of 8.5 and 9.5 wide rims with both offset choices being 35 and 45. That's why I'm considering running the 8.5 for fronts and 9.5 for rears. If I do purchase these rims and go with 255/35R18 for the fronts, what would you recommend for the rears?Steve Jarvis said:Look at the stickies in the MKIV Tech section. There is a wheel fitment guide there. Please put something wider than a 8.5" wheel on the front. At least go with a 9" wide front wheel. I would recommend a 255 on a 9" wheel as the narrowest tire/wheel to run on the front of a MKIV. BTW you could run a 255/35R18 on an 18x8.5" 45mm offset. It is not the best setup however.
