Will +18 offset fit with 2.5 teraflex bb?
I was attempting to order the moto metal 961 18X10 with -24 offset but they are sold out nation wide.
Can I order the 18X9 with a +18 offset and make it work with the teraflex budget boost with shock extenders with no rubbing?
Also anyone with experience with wheel spacers know if the 1.25 teraflex spacer will make the 18X9 stick out comparable to the rim with the -24 offset?
Sry for the newb questions, I searched but couldn't find anything specific, and I wanted to be absolutely sure before ordering. Thanks!

18X10 with -24 offset = 4.55" BS
18X9 with +18 offset = 5.70" BS
5.70" BS minus 1.25" Spacer = 4.45" BS
So it would be almost identical back spacing. (Always double check my math)

Will the 5.70 backspacing without spacers work without rubbing?

The stock factory Rubicon wheels I had, had 6.25" BS. Your new wheels would be 5.70" BS.
So these would have about 1/2" more inside clearance. (Assuming your original backspacing is the same as mine was).
If a 33" or 35" X12.50" or equivalant tire will be used, you would most likely need the 1.25" spacer to keep the tire from rubbing.
Make sure the tire you will be using is recommended with a 9" or 10" wide wheel.
The narrowerist wheel possible will be better for airing down offroad.
