Offset Question

[me73]

I'm looking at a set of wheels. They're Montegi 18x8.5. These have a 32mm offset.

The stock 19's are 8" wide with a 34mm offset in front so no worries there, but the rears are 8.5" wide with a 46mm offset. So a 32mm offset on a 8.5 would stick out roughly 1/2" further. Seems like a lot.

Has anyone run a 32mm/8.5" rear wheel that can confirm no rubbing?

"Confirm", no. But figure the numbers. You already pushed the front wheels over half an inch out further than OEM with half an inch wider rim and 2mm less offset. It sounds like the same amount of push to the outside with the rear wheel, all offset difference. For comparison, I have a 9.5" wide rim in back with a 39 offset. Not anywhere near rubbing and that is about 5mm more push to the outside than you're looking at.

4Cyl Stingers run 18x8 ET34 stock, so your 18x8.5 ET would be barely 1/4"+2mm, or less than 3/8", wider. You'd be fine.
