Your post is pretty vague, to say the least. But, I'd say it would first
depend on the offset of therims overall. Do you have those specs?


Secondly, nobody can give much inputif we don'tknow what size tire
you are going to run...

If you keep the width of the tire approximately the same as the rim, keep
thesidewall reasonable & the offset is anywhere near +35mm through +45mm;
you should be safe.

yeah, wow sorry i didnt think about that... theres more to it than just the rim size, heres the tire sizes front tires are mounted on a 8.5 inch wheel, 245/40zr18 97y... the rear tires are mounted on a 9.5 inch wheel and they are 275/35/r18 99y... and according to the website i found that measures and calculates offset, the front wheels are offset by +39 and the rear are offset by +40

I'm sure you are completely safe running those fronts, however
that rear offset may need to be a bit higher to fit those 275s on the back(without rubbing).

Keep in mind, the higher the offset, the farther inside the wheelwell the rim will sit.

It isdifficultto determine by the dimensions,so if you have the wheel/tire set-up already....can't you
simply do a test fit and call it a day?

^^ i was planning on doing that this weekend probably with the wheels in the rear... and i was told about wobble bolts instead of adapters because of the new wheels being 5x114.3... would a two rear spacers be safe with wobble bolts or should i just get the adapters... im new to the term wobble bolts and wheel adapters lol ive heard of spacers thats it, im just not sure how safe or unsafe these products are, i obviously dont want to be rollin down the road and have a wheel pop off..
