Don't worry lots of people run these. I personaly run 235/40/18 all around with no issues on 18x8.5 et 35 wheels. I don't like how the wheels sit in so I run 15mm spacers out back which is the same if I ran offset/ et20. I going to get some 10mm for the front to bring out the wheels a little. My advise would be if you run a square setup by the same offset wheel front and back so you can rotate tires. If your going staggered you can run different offsets front and back. I would buy a 18x8.5 et25 for square, you can always add a small spacer out back if needed to bring out further. If I were to run staggered I would run 18x8.5 et 25 and 18x9.5 et15 or et20 . I think its more important to keep the front to back tire dia. within 1% of each other because of the awd / transfercase.
