Looking at upgrading my wheels and tires on my Duster and going with 18" wheels. I'm not too worried about finding some that will work on the back, but not quite sure what will work on the front. Right now I have 205/60-15s on 15x7 wheels with 3.75" backspacing. What kind of backspacing would I need on the fronts? Looking at going with a 18x8" wheel. Something like Boss 338s. They come with either 4.5 or 5 inch backspacing. Just looking for some advice before I buy something that won't fit.
 
I have 18 X 8 Boss wheels on the front of my Demon. They list the offset @ 14mm which is about 5". The Duster and Demon fenders are a bit different, so I'm not absolutely sure. Hopefully, someone else with a Duster will answer.

Good luck :cheers:
 
I have a dart sport; And am looking to do the same setup, could you post a side picture of your car and the wheel and tire size with back space THANKS!!! ....... And by the way that DEMON looks bad A$$......
 
JD's Wheels now has the Ridler 695 wheels... which are identical to Boss 338's.. 18x8 in chrome, grey, and matte black..which I like more than Boss 338's gloss black. And the price is a tad cheaper, too. My car will have a set when I redo my 8.75.

Check them out.. they have other styles too. JD'S Wheels is a big eBay vendor but you can see the other options. Check out the Streeter rims for a Torque Thrust-esque rim, too. :D REV also makes a nice rim for cheap.

Thx :glasses7: Fronts are Boss 18 x 8 +14mm offset, w/ 225/40ZR18's. Rears are 18 x 9.5 -4mm offset, w/ 285/35ZR18's.

The Boss wheels are made in the USA too!
 
Thank you that helps. I will post my pics later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
old post i know but did you happen to ever upgrade your wheels? would love to see :)
 
Please post pictures of Dart Sport's or Duster's with 18's!!!
I am also looking at doing the same, plan on using a 335 or 345/30/18 on the rear for sure.
