Probably. It'd be easier going a lower offset and pulling the guards.

Well if it here me, I'd recommend 8.5 on the front, 9.5 on the rear.

I had those with a +45 offset and the rim sat next to the guards but no rolling was required on dump mode on my Limited. If i find a picture I will upload it

On those offsets you're heading for scrub city.

Look for an offset between +42 and +50.
Ideally as close to +50 as you can find.

I would say Definately.

As Dan mentioned Cara, there is seriously no point of getting anything lower than a +38 offset for the front.

My current setup is as follows;

18 x 8.5 front with +38 offset

18 x 9.5 rear with +45 offset.

Never had a issue at all with scrubbing front or rear
