That is exactly what I did. I will check my build thread (in my signature) for tire and rim backspacing I used. I have 18x8s with 4.5" BS, you can not get any less BS or it will hit the quarter panel on mine. The tires are 255/45/18's. I can take some more pics if you would like. Look through my build you will see. I did cut the long side tube down to match the short side.
