Ok guys,

At the moment im looking at a set of 18x9.5" rims with an offset of either +25 or +38.

What do you guys think..?

What will fit?

18 x 9.5.. I think 9.5 is a touch wide..

Maybe look at something like 8 or 8.5..?

Take a look at this and work out your offset..

I assume this if for the TJ VRX listed in your profile?

+ 25 offset is out of the question , 38+ offset and 7-7.5" wide should be about perfect, maybe 8", but I doubt it (You can always do a test fit to check)

For comparisons sake I have + 35 offset and 7" wide rims, and they fit just about perfect in the guards of my TJ sports, inside by a couple of mm

9.5" rims on a magna is stupid, and aren't going to fit without a custom control arm.

You should be looking at 7-8" wide rims. For 8" I estimate you want roughly +42 - +46 offset (stock is + 46).

Always do a test fit if possible, as you can never be sure exactly how it will line up until you put a rim on.

I believe they will not fit. Try this site, it gives you info about back space & rim lip when you enter different width and offset

doesn't the RTA say only +26mm over the largest factory option available for your car?

that means the widest LEGAL rims you can get are 8" wide (the largest factory option wheel is the 17x7 Enkei's, right?).

cheers,
