I am switching over to 5-lug and I would like to put 18x9's in the rear if the rims have a 24mm offset will they fit? I am going with 17x8's in the front will those work as well? These are going on an 88 coupe. Thanks

A number of people run 18x9 outback. You may have to play with the offset to avoid rubbing on the quad or exhasut. Of course you can always flip the quad or remove it if you have aftermarket control arms. A number of people also run 275s outback on their 18x9s. I am very hesitant to run over a 265/35/18 outback for fear of rubbing issues.

What wheel are you gonna run? Offset means nothing to me. I hate offset. Do you know the backspacing?
