    Excuse me if this has been asked as I know offset is beat to death. Anybody out there running 18mm offset on stock height or leveled? Looking at Method NV 18x9 with 18mm offset. Will either run stock height or at most level with 265/65-18 tires. Don't want to have to cut/trim anything.

    I ran a 17x9 -12 offset on stock suspension with no mud flaps and no rubbing tire size was 265/70/17 so basically the same size as those 18's

    Good to know. I have been to a couple of shops and one says yes and one says maybe but if I order them and they don't fit it's on me.

    is there a reason you want to go with a 18mm offset? the problem people run into with a higher offset is that tires tend to come close to the upper control arm.. It shouldn't be an issue with the 265 however if you ever decided to go bigger or wider that may become an issue. Then you'll need a spacer to push the wheel further away if you went with a lower offset wheel to begin with down the road you wouldn't have this issue. Also try and see if the shop has any wheels with that size and offset already that can be test fit prior to ordering if everything checks out then you can have them order the wheels and tires you want.
