^So you don't actually want to get a wider wheel on the rear...Just a wider tire? I mean you could put a 245 in the rear on the 8" stock wheel, but usually when people go staggered, the rear wheel is actually wider than the front...Not just the tire.

I probably will change the wheel out eventually but not right now. So if I went with 245's should they be 245-45-18? or 245-40-18?

Alright guys, got a curve ball.

I'm lowered on Stance Coilovers, about 1.1 all around I'd say. Similar to Stechs, but evened out on the conservative side, hows that?

18x9 +29 with 255/35/18

or

18x9 +25 with 255/35/18

will it fit?! I have to get this order going and apparently know this by 6pm to get my order out.. :/ Thanks for the help guys.

What about this setup:

Front: 19x8 ET45
Rear: 19x9,5 ET35
Fenders: rolled

What kind of tires should I use? I want 275 in the rear

Alright...I dont really know a lot about all of the offsets and such, but If I was to change out my wheels, What size wheel/tire should I get? I wanna go as wide as possible in the back without sticking out. I want the tire to be under the car, rather than outside of it. I would probably want to go with at least 19" rims.

I'd say Jedi pushed it pretty far w/his Advans - 19x8.5F (dont' remember the offset) 19x10R +48

There's also someone selling 20" Volk GTC's that seemed to fit nicely.

Jedi, did the wheels stick out at all? did you have to do anything different? like suspension? or "rolling the fenders" Im looking at the s-tech lowering springs right now...

The lip below the fender, you "roll it" so it wont stick out and rub on the tires.
