Will an 18x9 wheel work? ASAP
I'm looking at buy some Liquid Metal F5 (silver) wheels with a machine lip. They come in a 18x8 and 18x9. I would like to get a wider stance if at all possible. They do not make an 18x8.5. The sales agent pulled up a fitting guide and the 18x9 is a fit for my 06 NBP TL in the computer. Will this work? Also will it work with a 245/40-18 tire?

38mm offset for the 18x8

no.. 245 is a good size for a 9" wheel, shouldnt rub either, unless the wheels stick out too far...
alot of people, especially with ronjons, are on an 8.5 wheel, +42 w/ 245 tires.. no rubbing...
+3mm = 1/8" inch... so expect these wheels to stick out 1/3" more then the ronjons...
