18x8.5 Wheels and Rims

About 18x8.5 Wheels and Rims

An 8.5 inch wide wheel takes a 235 to 255 tire and is the width most 18 and 19 inch sets are built in, because it fills a Civic, Accord, Mustang or 3 Series fender without poke. Offset decides where an 18x8.5 ends up. The same wheel tucks at one offset and sits flush at another, and the caliper behind it sets the floor.

557 designs on this site come in 18x8.5, and the same diameter comes in 10 other widths, 18x9.5, 18x8 and 18x10.5 among them. Most 18x8.5 designs are drilled for 5x114.3, 5x112 and 5x120. Width and offset together set where the tire sits. An 18x8.5 at a high offset tucks, the same wheel at a low offset sits flush or pokes, so pick your car and the page keeps only the 18x8.5 sets that clear, with the aggressive stance option if flush is the goal.
