    18X8.5 18mm offset

    Hi, I found a set of konig imagine wheels, but the width is really wide 8.5. I read some on tgc that some people are 8" and wider, but the offset of these wheels are really low. I used the offset calculator at 1010tires and it said that I will have 4mm less in the inside and extend an extra 60mm on the outside. Now question is can I use spacers to correct the offset?

    Note: the calculator is specified toward any cars. http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

    With or without spacers they won't fit. Though Konig did make those with proper offset for our cars.

    Wont fit, no way they will be rubbing on the springs on the inside I think or they will be waaay past the fender.

    spacers will actually make them fit even less.

    Ya, you'll need a massive widebody to get these to look right....unless your going for the beaner look with wheels that stick out 3 feet from the sides...8.5 will fit in a 43 offset and not rub from all I've seen

    I knew they were going to stick out far, but I guess I was blinded by amazing deal. Thanks for the help.
