I'm looking at some wheels and not sure if they'll fit.
Fronts are 18x8 48mm offset, rears are 18x10 40mm offset. Any experience or knowledge on whether they'll clear okay or not?

I checked an offset calculator, and it shows the front should have an extra 11mm of clearance inside, but will extend an extra 23mm. The rears would have an extra 7mm clearnace inside, but extend an extra 33mm. So the inner clearance shouldn't be a problem, I'm just not sure if they will clear on the outside ok.

I run 18x8 ET49 and 18x10 ET50. The fronts fit just fine, and I've fitted 6mm spacers to the rears (effectively now ET44) and they are tight! ET40 MIGHT just be OK.

What wheels are they? Any ideas on the backspacings. That's critical too when we're talking this tight.

Don't know the backspacing, I sent an email asking for it. I really wasn't looking for 18s, but those are pretty reasonably priced.

Tricky to say then really. Unless someone else has them fitted........ Maybe mail the guy who bought a set? (jcmjlm from the looks of it)

No they won't fit, I've got a pair of 18x10ET40s sitting at home holding doors open for proof.

Oh well, I really didn't want 18s anyway.
