For wheel options, what is the highest offset for a 9.5 inch wheel we can go with before the wheel starts sticking out the finderwell. As much as I love the Marauder wheels I would like a different look, definitly something with a lip. Let me know. Thanks.

Actually, You would be talking about the lowest offset if you are 'pushing' the rim towards the outside of the wheelwell (closer to the fenderlip).

There are several members on this site who have bought Kazara KZ-A 18 x 9.5" wheel rims with a +45mm Offset. (7" Backspacing)

The OEM 18 x 8" rims are +50mm Offset. (6.5" Backspacing)

If you calculate the offset of a widened (by 1.5") OEM rim: 18 x 8" >> 18 x 9.5" it is +70mm! (8" Backspacing)

So, The Kazara 18 x 9.5" wheel rims 'push the tire/rim 25mm (= @1") to the outside of the wheelwell.

You might want to PM some of the guys with the Kazara 18 x 9.5"/ +45mm offset rims and inquire how well they clear the rear fenderwells.

Hope this helped.....

Do a search using "18x10", not sure which forum, I listed my backspacing and attached a picture. Reverse mount wheels have some baggage!!

I don't remember who, but there is someone who widens our stock wheels for the rear tire applications.
They can add as much as 1" without any clearance problems.
I don't remember seeing them add 1.5" to the rims though...

Check out the thread titled: 'Marauder Rim Widening Service'....Lidio widens 8" OEM rims 1.5" to 9.5" width. I think that he charges around $230 per rim.
