    Thanks!!! I will keep looking. I'm wondering if a 17" rim will make a difference vs 18's. It seems that the -38 offset is a major factor. Most wheels are +0. I will contact you via PM as I narrow my search. My OEM wheels are peeling real bad!!!

    Looks good. How far they stick out?

    Just to clarify, the OEM offset is +38

    All wheel / tires stores I have talked to are telling me that I can put 18 x 9 as long as the offset is lower than +38 (they told me that I can fit -12 to 12 offset without rubbing)! I'm already running Terra Grapplers 285-60-18 and the previous owner did some trimming at the front. I just want to swap the OEM 18 x 7 with 18 x 9's using the same tire combo.

    When I use the information here
    http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp
    and using the same +38 offset, this is what I get:

    Clearance: Package 1 Package 2
    Suspension Assuming that this is OEM wheel/tire and there is no any problems with clearance on both sides >>> The same.
    Fenders The same.
    Wheelwells The same.

    Some it seems that there is no real difference???

    If I use a lower offset (+12), I get

    Clearance: Package 1 Package 2
    Suspension Assuming that this is OEM wheel/tire and there is no any problems with clearance on both sides >>> 100% clear (leaves even more room than OEM)
    Fenders Package will stick out 26 mm (1'') farther. Make sure that you have enough room under the fender. If not, consider narrower tires or higher offset.
    Wheelwells The same.

    Still confused???
