Default Looking at Work offsets and need driveability. Help

I'm considering bronze Work XD-9's. They only come in the following offsets (I will be going with 18's):

Going on my DD SC. I would like to have minimum tramlining (I have enough as it is) and could do some rolling if needed. Don't really wanna run camber and burn through tires. Which combination of either 18x8/18x9 or 18x9/18x10 offsets should i consider to make it look good? Completely flush is not a priorty. The car is on Stance GR+ at max height right now and it is still fairly low. Thanks

18x9 +38 and 18x10 +38

Those Sizes and offsets will enable you to run a full size tire 245's up front and 275's in the rear. You aren't going to be flush (which you stated wasn't a concern) but it will not be sunken either. You will probably need a slight roll, nothing crazy.

^Didn't even consider those. Interesting.

18x8 +28 and 18x9 +30. How about this?


And the extreme in this case : 18x9 +20 and 18x10 +18. What would that look like and what kind of modifications and ride?

Minimum widths for the SC should be 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the rear

18x8 and 18x9 is way too thin for SC's. With 18x9+20 and 18x10+18 it will be relatively flush but you would definitely need some stretch to fit those as well as a very good roll. If you are willing to run a decent stretch those sizes would fit nicely. I recommended the earlier sizes as i thought you didn't want to stretch and was looking for more practicality as opposed to looks.

18x8.5 +35 ................................245 tire
18x9.5 +35 (roll your rear fender)....275 tire

stay around the +35~ give or take +/-5 and you shouldnt have to worry if it fits

no stretched tires = driveability from pot holes!

theres also the most lovely thread for official tire/wheel fitment.. you might wanna swing by and look page by page and see what everyone is running gives you an idea on what u want.
