245/45/18 is ridiculously big! Stock Z wheels might be a cool fit if someone happens to have some, rears are 18x8.5 +35, or something around there.

Hey im planning on buying a new set of rims this coming week. Ive narrowed down my choices and found the new rims I want. My choices are 18x8.5 or 18x10. I can get the 18x8.5 in either a +30 or +40 offset. The 18x10 come in a +25 offset. What do u guys think? Staggered fitment? Any recommendations/help would be appreciated.

18x10+25 is pretty aggressive so don't expect it to fit without work and stretched tires.
Does 275/40/17 not look good on those rims?

Yeah I read up on staggered fitment and decided to stick with 18x8.5 all around. I cant decide on the offset though... +30 or +40? Can anyone shed some light on this? ATM im on stock height.

Both work fine. +30 is a little more aggressive but no problems with 245/40 all around.

lol I don't know what to do with this one. There is no reason to go wider than 275 so stick with that or maybe a little thinner? It's your car lol.

Not too sure on inner clearance. Just put the wheel into a calculator and it seems to be 4mm closer to the suspension and 6mm closer to fender than 10.5 +43 with 265s (works without a roll btw). I'd say it will take a roll for sure and may need a small spacer. No guarantees on that though as it's pretty close.

Um, no way in hell without $$$$$ and or skillz.

The amount of work you'd need to fit these would be staggering.
