C43 wheels

Hey fellas, I am a new member here and was just hoping to get some info. For 18" wheels, how wide can you go front and rear without having rubbing problems? Also, what offset? Thank You

The above information is correct. The reason that it depends on the 265 is that the actual width of the contact surface of the tire is different depending on the manufacturer. I've seen some comparisons where the 235 tire of one manufacturer is actually wider than the 245 of another. I believe offset needs to be in the 30 to 38 mm range, but don't quote me on that part.

So everyone is sticking to 18s? No 19s?

Someone on here put a 20" S65 wheel on the back. He couldn't get the front wheel to fit properly, or at least not at the time.
