Quick Question I found some 18x9.5's that I love, but want them in 11" instead. Well I can get the 18x9.5's in a +45mm offset. Then if I got them sent off and widened to a 11" the offset would still be +45mm.
After reading the FAQ's it recommends a +45 - +56mm offset for a 11" rim.
So here is my question, if I get these rims, and get them widened to a 11, the offset would still be +45mm, so shouldn't they work with no Spacers?

Offset is measured from the center of the wheel, by adding 1.5 inches to the inside you have moved the center of the wheel .75", add that to your pre-widening offset. =45mm add 19.04mm (25.4mm per inch) and your new offset would be +64.04. Might be a little too much to the inside of this wheel for your application.
