Hi
I am looking at some oem wheels sized 18" x 7.5 50mm offset front and 18"x 10 65mm offset. Will they fit a widebody?

Ben

you would need some spacers in the rear ~17mm - 20mm

No. They are also 18x7.5 ET50 & 18x10 ET65. The rear will require ~20mm spacers

Why would you want to put a smaller tire on the car? The wider the tire the more traction. Your taking away from the cars abilities. Is it a cost thing?

Not a cost thing, but more the look. Will still have 295/30/18 on rears, just on narrower rim. I guess i will give up the idea, not too keen on using spacers.

Alright, looking at another set of wheel with these offset, using the calculator, it looks like it will stick out front and back. Am I right?

18x8.5 et 45 front and 18x12 et 51 rears
