Default TC Wheel offset question

Sorry if there is an existing answer for this but I have used the seach function and cannot find a response that fits my situation exactly.

I would like to rum 18X8's in the front and 18X9's in the rear. Both wheels offset is +37.

1. Will this fit the TC without rubbing?

2. Also which springs would be suggested for this setup to minimize the chances of rubbing?

3. And last what tire size combo would be best (225/40?)

Thank you for your help
Justin

i think you should be able to run that without problems. alex(bluebox) is running 19s with similar/slighty wider widths and he doesn't have problems. check out the december feature on the site for more info.

i think that setup should be fine but it will rub a lil depending on what springs u get... im running 18x8 et 40 all around with a 1.5 inch lip no rubbing what so ever on tein s-tech springs except the left front wheel on really big bumps (i cut the bumpstop too short on that one)... they still stick in the fender just a lil... but i think the 37 offset should make if perfect depending on the wheel...

Those should fit A.O.K. I have 19X8.5" w/ a 2.5" lip +35mm offset and they barely rub at all with Gold Line Springs 2" drop.
