Thumbs up In the market for wheels

As the topic says im in the market for wheels and i have made my decision on a set already i was just curious on on what some of you may think of the set-up or any recomendations. So far i narrowed it down to 2 set-ups first one is

Fronts 18x7.5 +44
Rears 18x8 +44


With this one i think it will flush right in with no need for mods to any fender

Versus

Fronts 18x8 +44
Rears 18x9 +50


The only things is i know with this one i will need to do minor mods to front and rear fenders so that it can tuck tire at shows or atleast have no gap between wheel well and tire.

and if i where to go with the second set-up what and how do you guys recomend in modifying the fenders?

Thanx in advance

In both cases the offsets are too small, so you are right in that the fenders would have to be "rolled". Some else will have to help your there.

just watch on the tires.


wheels dont rub, tires do.

wait you dont even know what wheels your buying? just throwing offsets off ur head?

if your doing custom dpe wheels.. then why are you setting offsets out prior.. those dont even come close to what you can optimize w/ dpe custom offset wheels.

...oh well.
