Appropriate Wheel Offset for 18" Wheels?

First- you will not fit 275/35/18's on a Dart with the stock spring location. You need the 1/2" spring hanger/shackle offset to make it work, and you'll need to trim the quarter lip as well. With the stock spring location the widest tire you'll fit is a 255, especially if you're lowered, and that will still probably need the quarter lip trim.

As far as backspacing goes, in the front with an 18x8 you'll want an offset between 18mm and 40mm, or about 5.25" to 6.2" of backspace. That will clear a 255/40/18, but 255's are usually only recommended for 8.5" to 9.5" rims. On an 18x8 it will be a little squeezed. A 245/40/18 would be a piece of cake. I have 18x9's with a 35mm offset and 275/35/18's on the front of my Duster with Dr Diff's 13" Cobra caliper set up. Same offset. I actually just added 3mm spacers to keep from just touching the frame at full lock.

In the back, you basically want a 0 offset rim with the stock spring location. But, if you want the rims you linked to fit with a 275/35/18 on an 18x10, you'll need that 1/2" spring offset. For that to work, I think you'd need about 6" of backspace. I believe that rear disk kit adds a little width to the rear track, so you might be able to get away with up to 6.25" of backspace. I wouldn't want less than 6" though, and more than 6.25" will need a spacer.

Granted, these are just going to be wheels and tires to get me by for a couple years so I don't have to fork over the $2500-3000 I was planning on spending for new wheels and tires. I already spent quite a bit if you've seen my build thread. So I don't mind running 245/40/18's up front.

Ok, so good thing about these wheels is that they're 2 piece wheels. I've got a buddy who knows a wheel guy who could cut the welds and set them to the offset required. I don't mind trimming or rolling the quarter lip or adding a spacer.

I was doing some measuring real quick and I can see where it could get really tight and bad. Take into note that my suspension is in full droop. The wheel well opening seems to be a little more than 11.5" wide (measured from inside to inside higher up), but with the springs in their current configuration I guesstimate it being closer to 11" making this tight (hard to measure with skinny tape measure). I've also got undercoating probably adding a little less room under there. There's also that weird hump at the top that Darts that could be an issue in full compression.

What about something like a 265/40/18? Just a touch taller (probably no bueno for being lowered) but skinnier? Or a 265/35/18 (might look a touch funky because it will be slightly shorter than the front)? If needed be I guess I could go with some 255/40/18's in the rear and keep the 275/35/18's as a mach up tire for the future. Tirerack has some Hancook V12's on closeout for a touch over $250 and they're rated for an 8.5-10" wheel. I guess 1/2" shackles need to be on my list for things to buy in the future.
