Default opinion on wheels for my awd 250

I wish I could go staggered and crazy but it is my daily and the roads here aren't the greatest so I'm going with a modest setup. The choices I'm thinking of going with are

Either would be in the 18 x 8-9 range with an offset of 35-40
Work Vs-xx
Volk Te-37

If you have pics feel free to post. Thanks.

haha. yeah, thanks man. I saw that thread. I don't know though if it is safe even though it is being done. We plan on keeping this car for a while so I'm just going to go the safe route. Unfortunately where I live I wanted the awd. Oh well.

Hey, don't mean to hijack your thread or anything...but I'm also looking at buying the TE-37 for my AWD as well

I'm thinking of getting 19x8.5 with an offset of +35...does anyone know if there would be any rubbing issues?

You shouldn't have rubbing issues... I was looking at the same sizes before I came across my Works

sole that looks amazing man. I may just do the non staggered as I have a chance to pick up a set I like at a pretty good price.

alright, small update. I'm going with non-staggered (18x8 38)works because I love the wheels, think they look better than the te's on the is, and I'm getting a pretty good deal on them. Unfortunately there will be no pics until next year as my winters are going on monday. A little smaller than I wanted but at least the ride quality on the crappy roads around here shouldn't change much.
