Dude im running 18x9 with 55mm offset up front, there's no fitment issues there with 275 tires.
Stop listening to discount tires and forgestar and listen to people on the forum, and ditch the staggered setup and go with same sized rims/tires all around so you can rotate them easily.

SKY888:
yeah, shabster has been running 275s square set-up w/ his 18x9s :)

I'm done with staggered, and also running square set-up now too. Even with 200 treadwear tires, it becomes economical since I can rotate them now :)

Steve, I'll call you now.....

SKY888:
Well Steve apparently likes the CONCAVE look at the rear, so he really wanted to go with 9.5" wheel since that's the minimum size to get a concave wheel at the rear.

It will look sick with that concave wheel :)

GASNGO:
Shabby, With your 18x9x55mm offset wheels don't they stick out farther than the stock wheels?
On willtheyfit.com it shows you would need a 65mm offset wheel so you would'nt stick out further than the stock setup. 245/45-18, 18x8x55mm offset stock vs. 275/40-18, 18x9x65mm
offset upgrade. Do you think the 65mm would create rubbing problems? Am I reading the
willtheyfit site correctly? Jerry

shabby:
No they fit just fine.
9" wide rims with 275 tires on a 65mm offset would rub like crazy, i can just stick my finger between the frame and the tire with a 55mm offset, i get some minor rubbing during hard cornering but thats it. That's why a 50mm offset on a 9" wide rim with 275 tires would be the optimal setup, if you go with a smaller tire you'll have some extra room between the frame and tire.
