Getting pretty tired of reading about wheel size and offset this last week.
Threads can be hard to pin-point the info I need. Also, most info is on 19" setup.
Hoping someone can please help clear this up for me...
Looking to purchase 18 x 8" +35 offset (front) and 18 x 9.5" +38 offset (rear)
Will these fit? It's the offset I'm concerned with. (maybe too staggered and look funky too)
Ideally, I want the wheels as wide as possible without rubbing, but I can add spacers later if needed.
I have RSR down sus in my office going on the car soon.
I know the tires will fit - keeping what I have 225 and 255
Hate to ask there are SO many discussions I just have not confirmed much on the 18" setups.
Thanks!

Offset will be fine front and rear.
The 255 will fit the rear rim, but you'd be better off with a 265...it will give you more sidewall, thus a nicer ride. The 255 will be stretched just a tad.

Good thought thanks. That's part of the reason I want to keep with 18"...more side wall. 255 will technically fit on a 10" rim if needed but I hadn't yet consider in impact of stretching over a 9.5".
I may just go with stock widths. Handle/look awesome being wider but slower straights to some extent.
