18x10 22mm offset?

[zackmd1]

Looking at a set of Bullitt style wheels from OE Wheels LLC. The issue is that they are designed for SN95 and have a 24mm offset in the front on a 18x9 (shouldn’t be an issue) and a 22mm offset in the rear on a 18x10. That is what I am worried about... I know it will be an aggressive fit but I am most concerned about rubbing since I am lowered on BMR SP080s. I have 1” spacers with my stock 18x8 wheels currently and from my calculations the rear will sit an additional .25” from where they are now. That .25” could make all the difference.... I plan to use 275/40s on the rear and 245/45s on the front. I guess my question is has anyone had experience with an aggressive offset like this?

It'll poke pretty significantly. The stock PP rear wheels with a 25 mm spacer (so 275/40R19, 9.5", +52.5-25 = 27.5) sit about 2-3 mm proud of the fender. This adds 6.4 mm width to the outside and pushes it another 3 mm from the offset. You'll be about 11-12 mm outside the quarter panel. +35 or even +30 on 10" width sits nice.

I was originally worried about how far they would stick out but it honestly doesn’t look bad from these pictures. A guy on the FB group installed these exact wheels with 275/35 and stock suspension with no issues. I want to go 275/40 with lowered suspension which has me worried about rubbing the outer lip of the quarter.

Well you're only lowered 0.5". You'll honestly probably be ok, but hard to know for sure. That's definitely too much poke for me, but obviously subjective. Excessive poke = sloppy modifying in my eyes, unless it's pure road course track car.

The poke to me doesn’t look to bad and I actually like the aggressive fit it has but the smaller tire diameter definitely is an issue with his setup. Way to much open space between the wheel and body... I just now have to decide if I want to take the gamble on this setup...

The rear wheels look small for some reason. I gave up looking for 18in bullitt wheels until I saw these. If I were to get 18x9 squared would 245/50s work for stock ride height? If they even make those.

Btw am I blind but what pokes out?

The rear is small in the pictures due to the 275/35 setup. That overall diameter is only 25.6”. I’m looking at getting 275/40s which will be 26.7” overall diameter. Stock wheel diameter is 27.3” on our 18x8 rims.

The point of discussion here is that the rear 18x10 wheel I am looking at has a very aggressive +22 offset meaning the wheel is sticking about 12mm or about .5” past the rear quarter lip just like in the pics above.

The poke is more noticeable the lower the car is, too.

Upon further inspection, I see the poke. It doesn't look bad but then again my ideal poke is like this:

Haha! See now that is a bit excessive! My ideal setup is either flush with the quarter lip or just slightly outward of the lip. I think these wheels are about as far as I would want to go.

BTW doesn’t the GT350 rear wheel poke out past the quarter some? I am really trying to replicate that stance.

The R rears do, but only by a couple mm.

For whatever reason, the back wheels seem to be rather tiny. Before I found these, I had given up seeking for 18-inch bullitt wheels altogether. If I got 18x9 squared wheels, would 245/50 tires be a good fit for the standard ride height? Providing they even manufacture them anymore.
