thats what im hoping for to be honest, if I think there gonna tuck im pretty sure they will, if not i will flare the bedsides lol. Up front will be no problem though as long as its nothing drastic.

how about a 18x7.5 with a 35mm offset

lets see here... 18x8 +30mm and 18x7.5 +35mm....
according to my calculations with my handy dandy scientific-mathmatic device... the 7.5 inch rim is narrower. also with the same calculator i have determined the +35 has more of an offset than the +30 rim.
I'd speculate that by logical reasoning backed up by scientific calculations if the wider, less off-set wheel tucks, then the narrower, more off-set wheel will also tuck, providing the track widths are the same, or the latter is slightly wider
i'd also speculate that i'm an ass hole.

i guess i kinda asked for that one

everywhere i've heard is that you need like +40mm offset to tuck. i'm doing a 5 lug conversion and the trackwidth is about an inch narrower, so i should be about to do an 18x8 with anthing greater than a 30mm offset. i just want to be 100% sure before i buy then i'm stuck with some wheels that won't tuck.
