Another offset question..

Hey,
I recently asked about 19x8 size rims if they would fit on my 0-2 tl, but now, I want to find out if 18 x 8.0 with 43+ offset would stick out of the fender and rub.
I appreciate your help in advance.
thanks.

Mine is lined up just about dead even with the fenders. 8.0 ET43 will extend an extra 5mm compared to my setup, for a total of 31mm compared to stock.

they would not stick out but they will rub. I have a 18x7.5 with a +48 offset and I rubbed. Had to roll the fender slightly and trim the tabs. I also have a tire that has a big shoulder to protect the rim.

Thanks for your input.
What size of tires were you using when they rubbed?

I will be using 225-40-18 on 18 x 8.0 rims with 43+ offset.
Would these rub with 1.2 inch drop?

For the last time, YES THEY WILL RUB!!
8" width REQUIRES a minimum offset of +50.
