They are all streched tyres but what is it like with proper tyres on the rims?
I plan to run as wide as tyres as possible.

well maybe then the 18x8.5 g force running 245.40.18s to get maximum tyreage as 245s on 9j rims will need arch rolling
they do a nice wheel called the gravel in this size also

That'll be mine. The offset is ET38 all round with a 5mm spacer on the front to clear the Brembos thus making it ET33

Yep for 18's. Regardless of the wheel size it's the offset that'll determine a spacer or not. How hard to get hold of what? Spacers or wheels?

I am talking about the spacer sorry. What is the handling like with a offset running so wide?

There's plenty of spacers out there so you won't have any issues. As for handling there's a stack of topical debates from posts in the members gallery. See both myself and inthoughtwelive
