18x10 rear wheel?

The rear rims I'm purchasing for my car are 18x10 in the rear with 6 degrees offset. Now to my knowledge I am ok to run 0 to 18 degree's offset on a 3rd gen vert.

Will a 18 x 10 with 6 degrees offset fit a 91 Vert lowered with hotchkis springs?

Thanks in advance

Offset is usually measured in millimeters (mm) either positive or negative. From my experience backspacing (measured in inches) is usually what people use to determine fitment relative to the width of the wheel. The offset can make a difference of course, but backspacing is usually more important. As long as you run the same backspacing as other guys on the forums with 10" wide wheels that fit good, and your tire choice gives you close to the same overall height, then it should fit.
