Default Post your square wheel set ups please!!

Ive spent a pretty good amount of time looking for a square set up example... unfortunately im not really seeing a good picture on what i should go with. I'm seeing a lot of 18x8.5 ET 35-38. I'm looking to switch to a square summer set up once these Bridgestone turanzas are done.

I would like a square setup for the ability to rotate the tires. Stock Height because the Canadian roads and winters are not kind.

Here is my request:
Pictures and Rim/Tire examples greatly appreciated! (bonus if it's a white IS and stock height :P)
Thoughts on Rim size, leaning towards 18, but if 19 doesn't look too weird at stock height I would be open to that size.
Looking at most aggressive offset before rubbing just to fill them out.
Thoughts on tire size? stick to 225 for ease? or maybe 245 for looks... not sure if 255 fits front and rear.

Man that looks good, I'm too far north and too much of a p*ssy to lower the car.

It's only an inch you get from the RSR Downs. They also have the RSR Half Downs if you want less of a drop.

I get a lot of snow, so i need the ground clearance. I don't think they make Half Downs for AWD.

Yep...the Half Downs are only for RWD.
You could crack open the piggy bank and get coilovers...then just raise and lower the vehicle every season when you swap wheels.
It does become a little "pain in the a$$" after a few years though.
