Staggered setup

I want to run a staggered setup 18x9 and 18x10. I have to decide on offsets, I want almost flush but slightly inset both front and rear, but no hella sunk. I want them to tuck without contacting the fender under suspension compression.

Front: +30mm, +36mm or +38mm

Rear: +42mm or +45mm

Which combo would give me the desired fit? I tried measuring, but my methods have more % error than the difference between the offsets lol.

Staggered setup

Just for looks, lowered about an inch-ish. Also weight wise 23 and 24.5lbs sound heavy for this size? Thanks for the response.

Lowered about an inchish? If you told me the actual springs or something I could be more help.

I haven't seen wheels that look better staggered. If the wheels have a lip, more lip is better imo and if they are concave, more concave is better. The weight isn't terrible.

Staggered setup

To be honest, I cut the springs to get rid of the gap up front and made the rear match, That's why its an inch-ish. I know its a no-no but its only temporary, wheels after suspension, but need tires now and can't afford both so... tires and wheels it is.
And the lip is polished, bigger is indeed better. Thanks again.

I'm looking for new rims for my 8' and was wondering if these will fit?
http://www.vertiniwheels.com/images/...te%20black.htm

If I fit 19's up front and 20's in the back could that work?

The thing is, when I bought the car it already had 20's on it, I just want new ones to get that fresh look and to be honest I don't think im able to go lower now.

...then whoever had the car before you might've been a moron w/no taste.

Don't follow suit. For a more 'fresh' look, **** diameter - go wider. Drop the car down if you don't like wheel gap - you're driving a japanese import. **** a dunk setup n' that high rise bullshit - leave that to the budget ballers in the domestics.

=> Drop low and go wide

You didn't list the offset but unless the offset is very low it shoudl be fine. I am at 18 x 9.5 +30 with 3245/40-18's dropped on Stechs, except with KYB shocks.

Ok J I changed my mind, sorry...

Now I'm looking at 18 x 9 +30 all the way around.

Lowered 1.75 in front and 1.5 in back and a fender roll.

Tires however, are my weakness.. I'm thinking 235/40 18??
