Help an idiot out with wheel specs. If I have 19×9.5 +22s in the front now and I get 19×9.5 +18s will that give me more or less caliper clearance? 😅

    I guess more clearance if I had to guess. But it has to be like identical wheel for it to matter

    If the face/spoke construction is exactly the same, then it should give you more caliper clearance.

    Theres quite a few factors that can effect the answer to this question. If you’re just a dding a spacer to the existing wheel to lower the offset 4mm than you could gain 4mm of clearance. But if you are changing the wheel completely, then caliper clearance is going to be dependent on the design of the wheel face. If your wheels with the 22mm offset clear but are high disk, and then you switch to wheels with an 18mm offset but are low disk, even though the wheels stick further out they will actually have less caliper clearance.

    Should be more but depends of where the face of the wheel is as well.

    If you mount 4mm spacers and use the same wheels, yes, you will get more caliper clearance. If you get another wheel, maybe.
