    I've found an awesome deal on some new rims and need to see what you guys think about fitment. All four are 18x9 and

    Backspacing: 5.94
    Offset: 24

    Anyone with experience with something similar? I love the rims and they're on for a ridiculous price but I just want to make sure I won't have fitment issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Offset could be a bit on the high side. A half inch spacer in front and one inch rear will create good stance.

    For clearance you should be good to go as is on rear, I am not sure about the space inwards up front.

    Optimal back space on a 9" wide rim would be 5". You have almost 1" more so the rim will be closer on the inside.

    Thanks for the info, I thought they'd be a bit big, but for the price I just had to see if I could make it work.
