I don't know, but I do know that it depends upon the tire sizes and ride height. NOT only on the offset and widths.

^ ^ ^ word, this is why you won't get a clear cut answer, because there are hundreds of possibilities.

depends if your talking about just the front? or rear? or both? It can get expensive......only reason y i did it was cuz i got a good deal out of it. Otherwise a lot ppl say its not worth it.......but if its over time and you can collect piece by piece....and you can do the labor work on your own ( like I did ) it helps save $$$.....good luck....and post pics once you get the wheels...unless you don't mind saying what your getting

Wish I saw this before getting my rims. +46 up front with 245 tires look pretty flush so I am suprised some of you can run it the mid 20 offsets up front. I have +31 with 245 on the rear as well and it is alsp pretty flush. I haven't noticed any rubbing without any body mods other than an air drop but it is close. Next set of rims will probably be mid 20's in the rear with rolled fenders and low 30's up front with semi stretched tires. Would be nice to see some pics with noted offsets..
