Help with setup want to go from 19" stagger to 18" square
It took a lot of time to find wheels and tires that seem like they will work for me, and meet my goals. Here is what I decided on. Deliveries will arrive next week and I will post pics if they fit!
I decided to go with the Miro type 111 8.5" with 35mm offset. I also purchased 5mm spacers in case they are needed for the front. I'm hoping these will fit. I purchased 20mm spacers for the rear. I also purchased a toe/camber kit because my alignment was at max adjustment and couldn't be properly aligned causing wear on the inside.
I purchased the Yokohama Advan Sport A/S in 245/50/18 for all 4.

Yeah I was concerned it might not fit so i got the 5mm spacer just in case. I thought I had seen the previous post you mentioned with the miro 111 but they were 18, so I was hoping 18.5 might clear on their own. I can't remember though because I've read so many things!
The oem tire sizes were 27" and 26.7. 27.6 square for the new size should be 0.6" taller in the front and 0.9" taller in the back. I figured there was less concern in the back since the wheels don't have to turn side to side. My main goal was to keep or increase tire size, and sidewall height. By appearance it looks like there shouldn't be an issue considering it's less than half an inch on either side. Since It's not awd i assumed there wouldn't be any computer issues, maybe I'm wrong? I'm aware of the mph adjustment but I'm ok with that.
I'll take a closer look at the rear wheel wells for sure.
Thanks again for all of your input!

Another thing I looked at was the stock width of 8.5" +43 offset vs the proposed 8.5" +35 offset should give me 8mm plus maybe 2mm of the stock clearance, for a total of 10mm on paper, in order to make up for different rim geometry or diminished concavity going from 19" to 18". Only way to know at this point was to try.
This is with a 10mm spacer on the front, the 5mm was enough to clear but only left about 1mm between the caliper, and I was very skeptical of that clearance. I may try a 7mm just to pull it back in a little bit. Also, with the 5mm spacer I could only get about 5.5 turns of the lug nut, so the front has ARP 100-7729 studs.
The rear has no spacer, and obviously needs one, just because it seems sunken in. I assume I will have the same issue with # of turns with rear lugs if I try the 5mm spacer on the back, and don't feel like paying to have the back studs changed right now. I had already bought a bolt-on 15mm spacer for the back, but I think that will be too much, and I don't necessarily trust that type as much as doing the extended lugs with regular spacer.

Verts have a wider fender on back than any other G, I would say you'd need at least a 15mm in back and more like a 20-25mm. I'd run the 15mm bolt on and see what you think. They are pretty solid setup as long as you check torque after 50-100 miles then every oil change, torque to 80-85 ft. lbs and get a reputable brand.
I have both a 15 and 20mm bolt on I can try. I called two wheel shops and they refused to install it though. I bought a low clearance jack and torque wrench so maybe I can give it a go myself.
