Default Widened Rims with a 38MM OFFSET?

Trying to look around for a good place to get my 18X9 Evo's Widened to 18X11, and a few questions came into mind..

Will i have any major rubbing issues with the 38+mm offset ( would the BFH mod takecare of this or maybe a fender roller rental?)

Has anybody tried "http://www.internetalternatives.com/wshoppe/" before?

Any other good places that does good wheel extensions without balence or any other issues?


Thanks Fellas.

w/18X11 you will have major issues. not sure of the right offset, but it depends on how much custom work you want to do to your inner fender.

But how can you say that if your not sure about the offset, the offset has a lot to do with the fitment of the wheel..... there are guys running TT2's with 11's out back with verry little fender work......?!?!

haha true, the thing is tho, those tt2s are 17x11 not 18x11. all i'm saying is that these wheels will not be bolt in by any means. good luck. i'm sure when your done it will look great!

You might want to ask these folks www.weldcraftwheels.com. They may be able to help you out. My wheels are 9.5" in the rear and I have been contemplating doing the same. I like the fact they use a band instead of wanting you to send them donor wheels. They quoted me $200 a piece.
