I don't think it matters. That is some Porsche level stagger and on 20s no less. The rears will be much taller than stock and there is a very good chance they will rub with stock spring rates unless the offset is really high. On stock springs it will also look goofy as hell. Time to do some more research and expect to spend some dollars on suspension.

Looks to me like someone is trying to fit G35 wheels on their car.

I am thinking about picking up a set of Enkei NT03 +M. They make a 18x8.5 +38 and a 18x9.5 +40. I am leaning towards the second choice to be more flush. Will I have issues with a 245/40 and stock suspension?

I am also looking for no poke on the fronts. Is it too agressive?

Thanks!

Yeah I am Pettit Stage 3. The previous owner had junky Kazera rims with brand new tires in that size. My reason for the 9.5 rim is to go to a wider and more aggressive summer tire once these wear down. They arent even halfway through tread life. I plan on lowering it in a few months. I have someone buying the rims this month so I am getting new rims first.

I just wanted to make sure the 18x9.5 +40 would be fine until I lower it.

Thanks for the feedback!

planning on 10.5 +30 w/265's.
It will fit. I am imagining shaved tab, no front liners, fenders rolled, what other mods should I expect to do?

Some small stuff in front probably like massage the metal ridge behind the fender liner with a big hammer and trim up the corner lights a tad.

You're better off just getting them filled in. Cost me $100 to do mine.

on stock suspension it will fit. Its just a horrible choice in sizing, why do so much smaller in front?
Also that wide of a tire in back at stock height will look mexican as hell
and if you ever do lower it you're gonna have some serious rubbing issues in the rear with that wide of a tire.

Sifted through many pages but no answer

Folks I picked up a set of used wheels that are staggered.

Rears-18 x 9.5 offest +35 with 265-35 rubber
Fronts 18 x 8.5 offset +32 with 235-35 rubber

Here is my is mu issue. Im siting on stock suspension and I am not planning on lowering anytime soon and I have a couple of concerns?

1st concern- The rear rubs on big dips or if im turning and articlating the supension to much. What tire size if any will resolve this keeping an accurate speedometer?

2nd concern- The tires in the front look way to small what would be a good tire size to retain a mostly correct speedometer?

Thanks in advance!

1st concern - roll the fenders
2nd concern - small in width or height? 235/40 would be taller

1st concern i would rather get a smaller tire(less wide) if it would work.

2nd concercern. Thanks i am looking for a taller tire.

I have a new set of 4 bf goodrich g-force tires all of them are 225/45-18's would this be a bad idea to try and and mount them all the way around on the staggered wheels? Thanks
