Alright I want to pick up some wheels that are 18 x 8.5. The only problem with this is that the offset on these is +55 which is stupid high.
My question is, if I get these wheels, what size spacer do I need to run to not rub and be flush or close to it?

Why not just get the wheels with the right offset to begin with? I am not and never will be a fan of spacers. The most anyone should ever run, and only if it is absolutely necessary, is 5mm. Anything over that is too much.

They are OEM wheels off of a different brand of car. That's the only offset they come in.

My 9" wheels are getting a 10mm spacer to push them out to +30mm with longer studs. You may want to run something like that.

Well then I'd keep looking. The size spacer you'd have to run would be way too big to be safe.

So they are something like a +40mm right now? So if I am thinking right, to get mine to a +35, where I want to be I would have to get a 20mm spacer?

Do you realize how big 20mm is? 20mm over 3/4". You will trash your wheel bearings.

Something like that. At that thickness there aren't really any wheel studs long enough to run that for our cars, you'd have to go with a hub adapter running something that thick. I'd get hubcentric spacers though.
I never understood how running a wheel spacer is any worse than getting a wheel that is the offset that you want, all you would be doing is the same thing as getting a wheel of that offset the person wants.

spacers won't cause any issued when done correcty. you will need longer studs with anything over 10mm though.
