18 x 10" rear and 17 x 8" in front need help
Im going to be buying some new rims but i have some questions. First off and this is my main question, i can get these with custom offset but im upgrading the rear end to a 4th gen rear end with disks, so would it be better to get different offsets for the front and rear (keeping the thirdgen in the front, and asking for 4th gen for rear), or making all 4 wheels with the 4th gen offset and just buying spacers for the front wheels? also if i do the seperate would the wheels still line up for the most part? and lastly would the 18x10s fit "nicely" without having to do any fabrication or would i be better off getting a 9.5" instead? just a heads up suspension will be stock for the time being... i would really appreciate your help

18 x 10 rim is no problem. Mine are 18 x 9.5 with a wide tire, maybe a 285 or 275. Get a fourth gen offset and use spacers on the front. That way you can get any fourth gen wheels when you get bored in a few years. You will, I get new rims every few years, maybe 4. Just check for rubbing and possible body roll.
