Is a staggered fitment possible or am i dreaming? I seen some reallly nice rims but the fitment is staggered. 18x8.5 and 18.9.5. Any input? Thx

Im going to be honest i have not one bit of a idea about fitment. Question would the sizes and offsets i posted be way to much work? If so i will just through these GS rims on like i've been planning. BTW Hows the IS?

I run staggered at 18x8 and 18x8.5. Its almost next to imposible to go wider than 8.5 you have to get the PERFECT offset and still roll the fenders.

yeah, one of the old members that is now in the ls400 scene used to run 8.5/9.5. and as for staggering, it supposedly isnt that a great idea, but i honestly couldnt see how it would hurt. i run 19*9 all around for my 97, 18*8 all around for my 97 and 18*10 all around for my 93.
but its not just about widths, its about ets as well.

I don't think they would fit. You would need a spacer to push it out more so it doesn't hit the the strut/spring or coilovers. Then also need a fender roll and maybe a pull to not rub.

is staggered fitment is for rwd ??? it will make the car understeer so is easier for people to drive a rwd car to prevent oversteer. but our ES is FWD it already got a lot understeer i think if u got staggered fitment on ur car will go even more .
