Default Last Minute Rim Question!

I ordered my 15 x 8 rims with an offset of 18. However, the rims also come in a 28 offset. I think that I can still change the order if I call tomorrow (3/13). I am going for the low and wide look, but will 18 offset stick out too much (as in problems when I hit a bump with a 2" drop)? This also might not give me an ability to have a lower offset in the rear. BTW I will be running 205/55/15 or 205/60/15 tires. Any thought would be much appreciated. Thanks.

you should get 28 for the front, and 18 for the rear - 18 will mos def stick out in the front, but in the back it'll be niiiice!

remember there is a full 1" difference between the front and back - so stagger your offset for the most even stance

- my mod7's are 7.5" 42 front 35 back and the back is still sunk in more then the front!

Thanks Besk. I'm gonna try and change the order to a stagged offset. I hope I can get the guy before the order goes out!

my 10mm spacers arent that thick i wouldnt consider that huge....its just over 3/8's....i had to put 15mm spacers in the back to get the rear to stick out somewhat close to front....

but Besk one has the best idea so far 28 front 18 rear
