    Previous wheels -12mm offset with 37x13.50
    New wheels +18mm with 37x12.50

    Bds 7" with CB tie rod ends

    I have fender flares that I want to keep.

    I don't like the wide stance of negative offset wheels, but the new wheels/tires are a little too tucked, and I want to push them out slightly. Preferably the bare minimum without cutting studs. They're also about 0.5" from my tie rod ends, closer than I'd like.

    Studs on the front are 1.25" long, 1" on the rears (or vice versa, can't remember). I don't want to cut these.

    Has anyone done 1.25" in the front and 1" in the rear? I can spot an eighth of an inch from a quarter mile away thanks to my flooring and tile setting background, but is this even noticeable to the untrained eye? Any other concerns with doing this regarding driveability and wear on parts? Don't think it should have any impact, but want to check with others. If yes, I'll just get 1.25" all the way around.

    At the same time trying to keep the wheel spacer as thin as possible to avoid any rubbing. I do have the BMC, however.

    I'll be going with bora, and I've searched the forums but not finding this specific question being asked.

    TIA
