i think i've seen someone here do a 9 up front, but an 8.5 should really be sufficient for anything

I've seem to stumbled onto the right forum, any SC owners out there know what the best Offset for an 18x9 wheel in the rear? I want a clean flushed look, not the "Tucked" look. I have 18x8's all around now, but plan to have 18x9's in the rear.

Don't know if this will help but I have 18x9.5 out back with a +48 offset and it is pretty nice and flush in the rear of my SC, tire is 265/35 in the rear.

there is no benefit to doing a 9" front wheel...

as for the rear, I'm doing a 20x10" (and 20x8.5" front)

20x9.5" rear is perfectly fine too...
