Default Offset q - F:18x9+46 R:18x10+50 ?

18x9+46 18x10+50

Would these wheels sit flush on SC4?
Would there be any brake clearance issues?

for 18's and those widths, the proper aspect ratios would be 35 series rear and 40 series front...

just plug in the stock size 225/55-16 and the new size and it will give you the differences...

You would be aggressively flush with those wheels. Tire decision would play a big part, and the fender may squeeze you into using a tire that would look super narrow on the car.

Nevertheless, you could probably pull it off. I would think like a 225 up front and the 245 out back...wouldn't be the end of the world.

i was thinking about a 265 in the rear. im not going to slam it to fit the tire. would the wheel be sticking out with a 265 rear? and what about a 235 up front?


someone is selling these locally, comes with 205/225 tires... way too tiny LOL

Rear would be somewhat flush and front will be sunken about an inch.

I have 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 + 23 and +22 and plan to put on a 15 mil spacer on the front to make it as flush as possible. You will need to run a smaller tire like 225 and 245 with rolled or cut fenders but since they are 18's it might not be that much work. It also depends on how low your car is and if it cambers.

It sounds like it may be sunken in a tiny bit (not heaps though). Also depends on your car's stance as well.
