The rear tires would not fit if they weren't stretched to ****. I still have lots of 18x10 wheels in original boxes. I have 5 or one offset and 3 of the other. I just dont have a backup for the rears (18x11.5).

I think I have 5 of the 58 offset and 2 of the 52 offset since I want to keep one as a spare for my fronts

Which of your cars do you have your current wheels on? I'm running 52's on all 4 corners. What offset are you running in the rear. These wheels look even better with the dish that your rears have. I found that I couldn't run 285 on the rear. IEven with rolled fenders it still won't fit. I have an odd rubbing on the front right, also 52, but not on the front left. I'm trying to figure it out.

That fitment looks really good, and I am wondering what size/offset/tire as well... release the specs LOL. I hate the fact that I don't have a clue what offset mine are. Still learning.

What year is your car, and are you using spacers. We can probably tell you what you have.

The rear have offset of 43. They stick out a bit far but the negative camber tilts the top inward. Also, the 285 on an 11.5" wheel helps it clear. It only rubs it you hit a hard bump or hard shift second gear
