Wheel Experts.... Wheel Offset Advice Needed Please

[Monty86]

Hi, new to the forum recently purchased T6.1, T32 Kombi, SWB. dropped around 40mm. Im about to pull the trigger on a set of black rhino arches 18x8 et30 and was planning 235/55 18 tyres but have been reading some conflicting information about poke and how far the wheel will protrude, ideally I would like it to be inside the arch or flush worst case scenario. Unfortunately Im in Norway at the moment and am unable to physically measure. was wondering if anyone has experience (A) in this wheel size with this offset and (B) looking to fill the arches a bit would this tyre side wall profile do the job?? Any input, experience or photos would be greatly appreciated.... it's a minefield out there. Cheers

I run 255 tyres on 8.5j rims and et 36 front, et26 rear and lowered 100mm. Tyres are inside the arches, no poke.

I think you'll be ok.

I’m looking at a similar set up. Any chance of a side angle photo please? I have similar concerns to Monty86.
