Default 18" 2008 Avenger wheels on '97 caravan ??

Thinking about buying some '08 Avenger takeoffs and bolting them onto the van.

Stock tire is 215/65/15
Avenger tire is 215/55/18

Diameter of avenger tire is only 1.3" larger and circumfrence is only 5% larger.
Caravan offset is 42mm,I believe. The Avenger offset is 45.
Bolt pattern is 5x4.5 for both.

I can't see 1.3" and 3mm offset causing rubbing issues. What do you think?

Looking to see if there are any issues with the wheel clearing the caliper.

Thanks

I think you might have rubbing issues. The difference in tire size is substantial. The rims seem like they might work (check the thread "Will they fit?" but the tire size is too big. If you can get the whole set of rims and tires for a really good deal, just go buy some smaller diameter tires to better match your rig and sell the others on craigslist to offset some of the cost.
