Default 18x11 with +43 offset will it work?

I'm about to order my wheels 18x11 rear and I can get them in +43 or +56 I don't want them sitting in very much
I plan 5 run a 315-35-18 MT et street. I'm ok with rolling the fender just don't want them sticking out past the quarters

I have seen 18x10 +25 and those were pretty flush so if you do the math the 18x11 +43 wheel face will be about 6 millimeters sunken in compared to the 18x10 +25.

Here is the link to the thread that had the 18x10 +25s

I think I will be safe with the +43 but at $2400 a set I wanna make it right lol.

I wonder if a machine shop could mill the back of a wheel to let it sit in a little more if need be

I think you will be perfectly fine unless you planned on doing some huge tire or having the car slammed

That's roughly a 12.5 in wide tire. Just on an average look when i googled, so the tire itself should stick out another 19mm from the rim on the outer edge.

If its eibach pro kit I would think you would have to roll the inner fender and even then you may still rub, if it is sportlines i think you need a higher offset for sure

This guy has 315/35/18 on 18x11 in the rear but he didn't post offest https://ls1tech.com/forums/7620020-post1.html

I posted a similar thread last wk but didnt get much feedback i was looking to get some 19x11 foregestars with a +43 lowered with straino springs, from reading this thread sounds like they might fit. Id like to avoid rolling fenders if possible, i know its going to be close with +43

Turbo306Fox,
You'll need a adjustable PHB, an plan on rolling the fender lips.

I run a 17x11 with a +44 offset. I didn't have to roll my fenders or use a BFH on the inner fender.

Worst case scenario, you can always buy some wheel adapters/spacers for about $100 for the pair (IIRC).

With as much as tire widths can vary from brand-to-brand, and even between various models within the same brand, I would still plan on rolling the fender lips. It's better to be prepared; than not.

Turbo306Fox, can you verify your tire size since I don't see a 315/35/18 size listed by MT in a ET Street tire. I only see a 305/35/18 and a 315/30/18.

Yea I'm pretty sure thier the 315-30-18 mt also makes a 335-30-18 but I think that will be to much

315/30-18 would be the same height as mine. He'll be good.
