I think you would have rubbing issues and also they would probably stick outside of the guard.
Hi Lance, so the standard Omanyt's are 18 x 8 with offset of 44? does that mean +44? or -44 (I know nothing, obviously, about wheels)
The reason I ask is I already have 245/35R19 tyres and want to know what offset I should be looking for in a 19x 8.5" rim ?
The tyres put me about 8mm above stock diameter but were necessary to exceed the load rating requirement (minimum 95, these are 9
so I'm in the unusual position of needed to match wheels to tyres not the other way around!
Strange, the sily should be an 8?? must be something wrong with my computer
cheers
