Default 18" Wheel fitment

Looking into a staggered setup, probably 18x8 or 8.5f 18x9 or 9.5r. What kind of offsets do I need to look at to fit flush with no roll or pull. Will be trimming lips. Will also be lowered on bc coilovers. Thanks for any input!

Anywhere from +35 to +40 should be flush. And look at tyrestretch.com to see what tire you want to run depending on what width wheel you end up going with

im selling a killer set of Volk GTVs they are square ( 18x9x46 F&R ) but i run a 245 front and a 255-275 rear for stagger and they fit awesome..

i have used a 5 mm spacer to push them out as well for a really flush setup...


these are availa ble for a killer price with CF caps and Alloy or steel lugs PM me for details & pics..

Here is my set up which is wrong in the front 18x8.5 +35 rears 18x9.5 +40. the fronts should have been 18x7.5 +43 which they make for my style rim. tires are 215 front 235 rear. I will eventually change the front rims and put on 225 in the front and 255 rear.

Stock ride height? I'm looking to lower 1.5-2" and I don't want to rub.
