So do you have to custom order these??? Cause most wheels aren't going to be sitting around with "all offsets" available. Are they made to order???

I'm pushing more towards staggered it seems that they do not carry 18x8.5 so I have to go with 18x8 fronts and thinking 18x9 or 10 rears would I have to do any type of modification to my fenders and will it be doing any type of rubbing

Its hit or miss with the rubbing. I would stay at the offsets that romini wrote up in that link I posted. I had 18x8 fr and 18x9.5 rr on my last set-up and the rears were +35mm offset and the passenger side rear rubbed just a little when i had people in the rear seat. I just trimmed a bit and it was fine after that. Do you have the car lowered at all???

Ok here what the wheel look like. Tell me what size offset and should with? Should I go with 18x8 fronts and 18x9 or 10 rears? And please ignore the MB emblem on the pic and please remember that I do not want to do any type of modification to my fenders and I do not want any type of rubbing what so ever and I do perfer the staggered look instead of traditional look I really would like for the front and the rear tires to be even with my car fenders and not be hanging out pass the fenders so what should it be

I would say 18x9 for the fronts and 18x10 for the rear. +35mm for the front and +43 or 44 for the rears. Since romini is the wheel god...I would definately get his blessings with these offsets first. Or maybe someone else can verify my offset numbers.
