Thinking out loud, staggered sizes...

Ok,

Think I've finally have it decided between 2 rims... I do like the way SilverBullet's Salleen setup looks, those rims are 2005+ 18x9 with a +36 offset...

If I choose another wheel and they have them in stock I can go staggered. Was thinking 18x8.5's or 18x8's with +35 up front with 245/45/18's, on the backside 18x9.5 with +45 with 255/45/18's... The 255 is about 1/2" taller, 1/4" wider according to specs... :th_scratchhead:

So I guess my question, I know the front will fit, have seen cars with that combination on... can I stuff that kinda rim/tire in the back and still drop it an inch... or can I stuff that size in there period without much modification?

Edit:
Me thinks I'm thinkin' too much on this topic, should just get 18x8's with a 35 and be done with it eh? Where's BIO when ya need him... :th_clapping:

dont do staggered in width, if you do staggered rims, get a bigger wheel in the back like some 19s.

with that offset i bet you could fit it though.

BTW...i had an interview this morning, thats why im late.

If I do staggered diameters, then I'll loose sidewall thickness, to me that looks goofy (imo). I think I'm too used to RWD cars, where you want a wider contact patch in the back...

Oh and best of luck with the interview!!!
