Wheel Experts...Need Opinion
Sup Guys -
I'm considering buying these wheels for my 2002 C32
http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/...3#.Uzueg01OVpg
As you can see they're staggered 18X8.5 and 18X9.5 with 42mm and 44mm offsets respectively.
From the threads I've read the stock 7.5" front has a 37mm offset. Will I be able to squeeze a 235/40 on the front with a 8.5" wheel and 42mm offset?
I'm pretty sure the backs won't fit as the stock offset on the 8.5" wheel is 34mm. Can I fit a 255/35 out back if I run a 10mm hub centric spacer to effectively change the offset from 44 to 34?
thanks!

Those offsets are waaaay too high. You generally don't want to go above 35mm and avoid spacers if you can.
Technically, yes, you could most likely fit the rear with the 10mm spacer. You would probably also need a spacer for the front, but I'm not sure about the 235 tire size. Someone else will have to chime in about that.
