I dont want to stagger the wheels on my 8. I dont believe in it I dont want to screw up the amazing handing characteristics. I want the concave look front and rear.

im either blind or the website shows 48mm offset there only cause suby dude dont have it dont mean they dont make em

I know they make a +48 offset but they dont show the color I want on the rota website because im pretty sure the color listed on subydudes website was special order.

I stand corrected kev, thanks for the link.

To the OP, you can always order a different color then get them painted.

Well here's how it goes:

1. 18x8.5 +35 5x114.3 with 245/40/18 front and rear, no rubs no fender mods.

2. You can opt for 18x9.5 +35 rear with 275/35/18 but you will need to roll the rear fenders.

also, I have 245/45/18 tires do you think the 18x9.5 +35 would work? I really want to use these tires I have they are almost brand new. Eventually when I get new tires I will buy the correct sizes.

I believe if you run the right camber, dump the **** out of it, and stretch 225/45's on those 9.5's. You might be able to make this work.

I did 17x9.5 +25 test FIT ONLY with some 245/45/17 tires. FYI. Didn't drive on it. Looked to clear.

i have mounted 225/45/18 on 18x9.5 Enkei RPF1 and it looks SICKKKK if you're into it.

THIs IS OUr STOCK BRIDGESTONE STRETCHED ON 9.5".

THAT LOOKS SICK MANG!!!!

OMG stupid.

I would never stretch a tire like that. It's rice and unsafe. Not to mention it really looks stupid.

I run a very agressive setup, but you have to be willing to do some work to get the wheels to fit.

Im running 19 x 10's in the rear with a +25 offset and 275 wide tire. I had to pull and roll the fenders, cnc the hub on my rotors and the inner hub on my rims, and balance them accordingly.

but, you pay to play..... thats how i have a 5 inch lip in the rear.... Only 2 other cars i know on this whole forum that have an offset like this, the greek guy with the wide bodied 8, and a member from indonesia with TE-37's running pretty much the same wheel sizes etc as I am.

Oh and thats with stock camber! the wheels sit flush with my fender now.

Dont ask for pics cause i have my winter tires on the car! But these are my wheels.
