I think you’ll be okay. I’ve been running Fuel Blitz wheels, same size, same offset, same close clearance, for about two years without issue.

Should be fine. If it becomes an issue either a very Minimal spacer or shave the caliper slightly but I don’t think it’ll come that.

I have 18x9 fuel clash but with a -12 offset. The barrel of the wheel does fit over the caliper but just barely. I got mine with tires from custom offset and the sticky weights they used hit the calipers and when having the lift installed my guy has to rebalance all the wheels and put weights on the end of the wheels. So that’s the only issue I had.

I would say though if you plan to lift in the future make sure backspacing on wheels will be gtg for your lift.

If it's clear when you mount them, should stay clear when driving. The caliper shouldn't move around.

The only thing I’d say is make sure where they put the wheel weights when balancing.
Found that put the hard way lol one of the weight got caught and screwed thw inside of the rim up...ended up using balancing beads

what Are your experiences with the beads? Tire shop is wanting me to use them and I don’t know if I want to.
