Come spring the Sorento is going to be rolling on a set of 20's. I have a couple of wheels in mind but have a question. Can I run a wheel that's 9" wide with a off set of 18 with a 265-45-20 tire or will it rub?

I don't know about the rubbing, but, if you don't have the side cladding, they will probably be sticking out a bit

I think it will be very tight. I'm running 8x18's with a 35mm offset and they pretty much fill the arches (see garage pictures), I'm guessing but I suspect an 18mm offset will stick out too far cladding or not ? Bry.

True they will more than likely stick out. Forgot all about that. Thanks guys. Plan B is going to be a 8.5" wide 25 off set running 265/45's.

I've just been outside & checked my wheels against your proposed offset, it'll be tight but they should just sit about level, maybey poking out about 3/4mm with the edge of the cladding ? They will look huge, which is nice.

Heya 07,

I have a 20x9 wheel on my Sorento and run a 275/40/20 Tire on it...

We tried the 275/45/20 but was rubbing against the shocks on full lock..

Ok so it looks like I'm gonna be ordering a set of 18X8 wheels from customsorento with an offset of 35. How would 265 60 18's fit on it?

I've got 255/60 General AT2's on my 18's and I get very slight rubbage on full lock (et 35 offset). I don't think you'll have too much trouble with the 265's, although I've got the Daystar 2" lift kit ? They won't make too much difference to the gearing (like fitting 265/70/16's), but remember that your spare tyre will be no good any more (wrong size - will eat a diff). Should look great when it's sorted ! Bry

Thanks for the info. I would really hate to get them on the truck to find out they rub too much.
What size tire are you 18" wheel guys running?

The standard size tyre for UK Sorento's fitted with 8 x 18" wheels is a 255/55.
