Fronts np.....Rears will rub since wheels will jet out of the fenders just slightly. Need a higher offset to pull it in (+45 or +48). 275/30/19s with a 19x10 +48 sneeks through with a nice drop if I'm not mistaken.

Hello, I am lookign at a set of axis gravity wheels. they ar 18x9 all the way round w/ a 40 offest. I just called axis and they said these would not fit the front. I was wondering if anyone has used something like this in the front. I found a decent deal on em and was hoping there was a way.

That's a close one, but I think as long as you use a 245/35/18 all the way around, you shouldn't have a steering issue. Rear is fine.
Anyone using 18x9s up front with a +40 or lower?

I'm going conservative with 18x8 front on 225/45, 18x9.5 rears on 245/40s... which I know will fit based on previous posts (and small tire size). But will this larger setup in back mess with the odometer settings or is the sensor in front? Also, going for performance here, will the staggered setup make a noticeable difference in acceleration/corners (assuming same tire and density)? Seems like with a 50/50 weight ratio a non-staggered setup would make sense but I see a lot of staggers on this forum.

Ok so edit that last post... found the sticky on the staggered performance question. Not good for my first post. But does anyone know where the odometer sensor is? Front or back? And at what point does running a larger wheel/tire combo affect this?

May work in the rear. What is the offset? anything less than +45 will have issues. Forget the front unless it's a really high offset and you run 245s. 18x8, 8.5 or 9 is recommended up front.

Either should be OK for both. The higher the offset, the more it gets "tucked" into the wheel wells and gets pushed back towards your calipers. Keep that in mind. Spoke design is important if you want to clear those with wider wheels.

245/40/18 or 255/35/18 on 18x8.5s should be fine all around at +40. I'd pass on 265 due to performance degradation and fitment.

Ok, time for me to ask
I read the entire topic but still want to be sure.
I am looking for new wheels. First choice goes to Iforged Classic
- 19" 8.5 front
- 19" 9.5 rear
Now from what I understand, you can order any offset you want.
I was thinking following offsets
- 35 front
- 42 rear (dont ask me where I got this from, but read somewhere it would be best for a 9.5 wide)
Tyres would be
- 245/35/19 front
- 275/30/19 rear
Now I would like to know if this is going to rub somewhere and/or if the wheels would be tucked or rather perfect in looks. If anyone has better ideas I would like to hear them.
I am running KW varIII. Also including a picture how the car is right now, meaning ride height.

I had my wheels put on Friday and took some pics of how they look on the back of the car.
They're 255/35/18s on an 18x9.5 +35. Not a big fan of the "stretch", but 275s will fix that, but not without some mild lip roll I'd think.
There is plenty of room in there even with some Tein S-Techs. I'm looking to use 275s, and maybe get some Tein Basic coilovers to really dial in the drop cause it's not low enough for my taste

ok i want to ask now
im considering picking up a used set of axis reverbs from a 240sx owner and i know the offsets are way diffrant then the rx8 stock. but is it worth the drive to even test fit them
front 18x8.5 +16 235/40/18
rear 18x9.5 +20 265/35/18
thanks for the help
