The face of the wheel lips will be out 2.2" more, compared to the stock steelies.
You might be able to get away with it by really stretching the tires, but I don't recommend it. |

| im going to be running a 18x8 with 32 offset and i will have to do a little tire stretch and some fender pulling to make it perfect in the front. The rear will tuck in pretty well with just some stretch. |

| no stretch needed on the rear. 225 or 235/40 will clear just fine. the front will rub on a 225 if you're dropped. don't worry too much about stretching the tire. a very light fender roll will do the trick. i'm on df's with this set up and rarely rub unless i have the car loaded and hit a dip. |

Lol you guys are scared of low offset.
If it don't rub, it don't fit.
That's an 18x10 btw.
18x8.5 is much much narrower. |

The rears will stick out about the same as MaxBoost. The 1/2" narrower width is split between the back & front of the wheel, so the narrower width would pull the face of the wheel back about 1/4". The 7mm lower offset will then push the wheel back out just over 1/4"... net result is about the same appearance.
The 18x8.5 +25 front wheels will stick out past the front fenders about 1/2" also, about the same look as the rear wheels. |
