[s-cars] anyone running 18x8.5" wheels?

[Rich Beebe]

maybe it goes without saying, but the key here will be the offset.
with an 8.5" rim (and wider tire), you're cutting down on the
allowable tolerance for a rim/tire combo to fit. i'm running 18x8.5s,
but the offset is 32mm and that would have to be considered the limit
for an 8.5" rim in the rear (fronts fit fine). i run a smaller tire
to help with rear fitment. i'd say 35mm, or even 37mm, offset would
be the best fit. hth.
