ok, ive been reading these posts on here for the last few days and get more confused by the minute. I didnt want to be that guy that seemed like an idiot, but..
Im looking at Advanti A2 Tracktions 18/8 et35 front and 18/9.5 et35 rear, i plan on stretching tires on them but don't know if i will have to roll inners, Im assuming I will. any advice is greatly appreciated.
So far Ive bought a bunch of tires and Im 3 wheelsets in trying to figure this out. I really suck at fitment apparently. ha ha.. Ive searched a bunch but get all kinds of confusion.
You won't need to roll the fenders. What tire sizes do you plan on running?
im gunna try these falken 225 40r18 up front and rear tbd, ill look at the tirestretch website and see what will give a similar stretch for 9.5 then after i see how much room I have maybe roll and push. I just want to take it slow and find that sweet spot.

with those offsets you should run a 245/35/18 front and a 265/35/18......they should fit no problem....there is no reason to stretch tires on that setup as it is not really that aggressive....
I believe mikef has those similar offsets....
to give you and idea.....i have 18x8.5 +25 w/ (10 mm spacer making them +15) on 245/35/18 and 18x10 +25 on a 275/35/18......I do have all four corners rolled perfectly flat...
Front:
Rear:
I had 18x8 +30 up front before with my other wheels....and they were really sunk in with 235's
Sits a little too high in the rear, the passenger side kept rubbing. I will add a little camber and lower it more to close some of the wheel gap. Would like to run 245-35 in the back to get a little stretch so I can go a little lower. Here are some pics....

EMS,
Take your time man. Don't buy anything until you feel you understand Sc fitment pretty well. Maybe a local shop that specializes in wheels and fitment can help as well. I'm no expert but if you are spending the money, you might as well take your time and get it right the first time. Those sizes are pretty mild so stretch might look a bit sunken, smallish and "Gappy". A spacer and meaty tire would be one cool look for those sizes (in my opinion). If you want a stretched tire, a wider wheel with a more aggressive offset would look awesome. What other sizes do the wheels come in?
People started stretching to fit borderline "too wide" wheel sizes. The combination of the two sort of go together nicely to some (myself included).
True true studioG I fell in love with the advanti tracktion wheels, in good condition with tires got em for 600, have my other two non staggered sets sold to friends so I broke even and have a reall nice roller set until I find that super sexy set where I roll fenders. It was just so hard looking at the car with the MB wheels on it, they were sunken two inches in on the rear and were clearly a "deal at ntb" or something like that. Ha ha. The a2's will get it to the look and when I'm ready I'll go full tilt. Smiles all around I'm excited. Best car I've ever had and have drove less than 100 miles in it!!!!! Makes my t-type Buick look like a boring car. Ahh so good even my fiancé likes!!!
Im looking at a set of xxr968 wheels and the rear wheels are 10.5 wide and the offset is +20. Would this offset work on the rear. I do know I would have to roll the fenders and what not. But im not familiar with the offsets.
Can anybody help here?
Think I can fit 18X10 with a 30 offset all around? I am okay with some fender rolling but do want to be pulling fenders.I am more worried about the front. Thanks!

Tires I am thinking:
F: 245/40/18
R: 255/35/18
Rear will fit perfect with just a roll....as far as the front will fit but you are going to need a pull and will have to run stretched tires for sure...
FYI....here is a 18x10 +25 I test fitted on front...I would go with a higher offset or step down to a 9 or 9.5 for front
