18x8.5 and 18x9.5 Wheel Question
I just ordered new tires (Goodyear F1 GS-DS) in a 245/40/18 size. I found a guy selling rims that I've been looking for in a 18x8.5 (2 each) and a 18x9.5 (2 each) configuration. I've read the threads and articles about how staggered wheels unbalancing this car (my RX-8 is non-turbo) but since the tires are 245s would this still be considered "staggered"? Are there any issues or reasons I should be aware of?
Thanks in advance!

If you are gonna put 245's on it all the way around, why buy staggered wheels? 245's are really stretchin it on a 9.5 rear... 265's on mine were too stretched for my liking.
