What are the cons on an 18x8 wheel with a +40 offset???

BTW... 225/40/18 tires...

Cons would be rubbing, though if it actually will I can be of little help, other than saying probably.

I agree with nate, it would probably rub, although it's wierd how some rims that certain guys have on this site, but hearing the technicals of the rim you say it will definitely rub, meanwhile there is no rubbing..Who knows..I'm still searching for the right wheel, after 3 months now..

Keez, unless you're getting a deal you can't refuse on the +40 offset, don't f*ck around and just get the right offset. I'd hate to see a fellow TL brother regreting on such a big investment.

ROTFLMAO! Oh shia... that Kermie pic is the shia!!!!

 

I understand! I'm gettin my rear fender shaved in 2 weeks cuz I rub with people in the car and I'd hate to hit a big dip and my tires rub really hard (causing body work to be done). Good luck! If some people here say it's cool then try it.

AC, It was a very good deal - but no deal is worth rubbing... I'll have to mount the babies up and see what happens...
