Default Question about 18" rims?

I want to run these, but do I have to have that shim in the rear? And also Is there a certain off set I should be concerned about, or width rim? I want to tuck if I get air suspension so this stuff is important. Thanks in adavance. Also got pics of 18" 's?

to tuck on air 18 x 7 40 offset is perfect in the front, if you go any wider you will bow the fenders out.
in the rear you can run a little wider, i wish i would have went with a 30 or 35 offset.

by the way before everyone else jumps in dont even think of buying air runner for the price they are asking, it does not even drop that low anyways which completely defeats the purpose of bags if you ask me. plus it is extremely overpriced. personaly if i ever change mine again which i dought, i will use chassie tech fronts and cut my stock strut tower to raise it up 3inchs, that way i can still get the max drop with plenty of lift. righ know i have easystreet fronts and have put over 10000 mile on them with zero problems.

I am interested in piecing togeather a kit for my Xb (I have a nissan Hardbody bagged all the way round right now) And I need to know what to get and where to get it it. I already know I will be getting the tank, compressor, fittings, line, gauges, and valves, and switches from suicide doors. But I need to know what bags, and cylinders, and brackets to get, and shocks? Thankyou for the info.

i made my rear bag brackets or you can get the ones that fbimini sells. in the front easystreet air struts like i am running or if you dont mind cutting and modifying to get a nice drop you could go with the chassie tech front air struts which will give you a higher lift and better ride because it is a double convolted bag instead of a sleeve bag like easy street.

Awesomeness. Thanks for all of the help, It's kind of different to do a car setup as opposed to a truck. But it should be a whole heck of a lot easier.
