Its your 8" wide wheels with your +38mm offset(period.). +35 is the most I would go and thats with a 7.5" wide rim!

Ok your post doesn't make sense.

35 would be the max offset without sticking out anyway. So, you could actually go with an 8- 8.5(that's really pushing it though) wide rim with a 35 offset.

NOW, if you were on let's say a 40 offset with a 8 inch wide or larger no way. The wheel is tucked to much which would drastically decrease turnability.

Does that make sense to you?

EXACTLY my point. How is it that people w/ more aggressive offsets and widths are not rubbing yet I am.
Its just like the above poster. IF I go over a dip the inner lip of the fender is barley touching the outter wall of the tire.

If all of us on this tread are running TRD springs why is it that some are and some aren't.
Crappy product that is not consistently made?
People who say they are not rubbing are not noticing?
Camber in the rear?

oh my bizzle.. yes, i don't think im rubbing cause there are no gash marks on the inner fender or plastic wheel wells. I don't know why others have this problem. I am on the trd struts AND shocks. Maybe those who are have problems are just running the shocks but with stock struts.... idk. pics finally

Ok...I got a PM asking me how I'm not rubbing. And no, it wasn't from the OP.
Like they say; "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words" or something like that. Too many beers!!

Once again, 18x8.5 w/+35 offset. No rubbing. No uneven tire wear. :D Go figure.
