They also have a square setup running 19x9.5 +35. Not sure on the tire sizes.

We've never sold 19" Wheels to the FRS

We have a 18x9.5 +38, but there's no 18x9.5 +35 or 19x9.5 +35 Grid available.

May have been a typo. Meant 18x9.5 square

I got it. I was looking at a DPT 18x9.5 +35mm offset

Haven't mounted a 18x9.5 +35 DPT on the car, but we definitely can

18x9.5 +35 PWR's have been mounted so it's the same thing

We also have 18x9.5 +44 DPT's as well.

and 18x8.5 +44 as well if you want staggered

you want to be as close to those specs to get that flush look

Does anyone want to chime in on how they this setup rides & handles?

Obviously we're not kicking off a ton of power for a staggered setup, but I'll admit it -- I want my street stance to look badass. I'll run stock & sticky at the track for a while; so this setup would strictly be street & canyon run fun. 9.5 seems like a lot of rubber to roll, how much will it slow?

I'd love to hear your opinion.

It fit... here are the before and after:

Hi, can anyone ensure me that the following setup will work:

18 x 7 wheels with 40 mm offset. (Drag DR 50)
225/40 Pirelli Sottozero Series 2.
Car is at stock high.

I tried to find a similar set up being discussed here, but it seems that 18 x 7 wheels are pretty uncommon.
Thanks in advance!

That's the same width as stock, and you're moving the wheel 8mm outwards. So there will be more room between the strut and wheel, and there is still lots of room from the wheel to fender. You'll be fine.

What's the effect of running a square set-up but with different offsets front and rears?
eg 17x8.5 +42 fronts
17x8.5 +32 rears

You'll just have a wider rear track. No problemo

Thanks, so that means I can still run the same tire size front and rears..
But does this mean that if I want to rotate a tire I will need it do it by taking the tire off wheel by wheel?

What a hassle haha

Yeah you can run whatever you like for tire sizes .. but rotations will be a pain
