Only the 19s are staggered. The 18s are not, but you can run a bigger size tire if thats what you mean.

the offsets are all the same, which is 18x8 +30 for all four corners.

Well said. How about some 07 GS wheels instead?

but those are the cheapest forged rims you can buy from anywhere. they're also made by ray's engineering.

Actually, the 18's are not forged rims. Just standard cast. The 19" rims are the ones that are forged and made by Rays. The 18" are not staggered. Both front and rear are 18x8 however I think the offset is slightly different so the rear "appears" to stick out further. The best thing about those rims was that they were the cheapest decent looking set of wheels that could clear BBK easily
