You'd think that the guys at the tire shop could answer that question correctly, but they can't. I already went throught the pain of putting ones that were too wide on the back. I had an offset of 18x7.5 in the front, and 18x8.5 in the back. The handling and turn radius was noticibly improved, but I quickly figured out that the back tires would rub the body on even the most insignificant bumps.

Could I get away with 18x8's all around, without getting any rub?
