Question Going from 17" to 18" tire/ wheel questions
I plan to replace my current 17"X 91/2" wheel/tire combo with a 18" X 91/2" combo. 275/40-17 to 285/35-18. Should that pose a problem? New wheels have a +56mm. offset. Any problems there? (All 4 wheels)

Thanks.

No problems. Less than 1% difference in outside diameter of the tires. Front is going to be a bit closer to rubbing at full lock, due to the added width of the tire.
