Question safe tire/offset setup?

hey, i was wondering whats a safe set up for rims, i was thinking 18 x 7.5 offset +38 and 215/35/18 tires, do u guys think it'll rub or i'll have to roll the fenders? or should i get wheel spacers?

There is a lot of information on that thread. It is hard to follow if you are not a car guy.

Eh, it doesn't take much to comprehend what that thread is saying. If you read it, it goes through every iteration of wheel width, wheel offset, and tire size known to man and what is required to mount each combination. So, no, I don't see what you are saying or where you are coming from. This did not need its own thread.

18x7.5 +38 is fine
but 215/35/18 is not IMO.:
you should get either
215/45
225/45
225/40
235/40
245/40

go on Google and find a tire camparison tool and see the difference yourself

oh yeah, i didnt notice he posted 215/35. if you don't want to go wider with the tires, just stick with stock 215/45 and you'll be ok
