    Purchased a bilstein 5100 lift set at .85 with OME887 coils (3" lift) and Deaver AAL in the rear with light racing UCAs. To be delivered next week. Also got 18" walker Evans 504 legacy wheels w/ BFG Ko2 285/65/r18.

    Anybody think I will have issues with rubbing? Had a rep at a local shop pick out wheels and tires sizes so it should be 18" wheels on 33" tires.

    Its all about the offset... I like some NEGATIVE offset to push the wheels out away from the suspension and the bad ass looks.

    I agree a negative offset has a better looking stance. But it requires :sawzall: and puts more stress on the components. I was shocked to find out my wheels had a +14 offset. I figured with that positive of an offset the tires would rub the control arms but mine do not. For me this is the right setup, no cutting and no rubbing.

    Yea I am thinking I should be good since the guy who picked out my tire sizes owns his own up fitting company.
