I was wondering if I could do a staggered setup with 18x8.5 in the front and 18x9.5 in the back. I know the tires will fit on the 18x8.5's, but will they work on 18x9.5's in the back? Also, will this work and not look stupid?

If it would work, what kind of offsets would be best with those tires?

Thanks!

I would just wait for the 18x9+40 - that fitment will be great. Staggered is going to induce some understeer, I doubt that's what you're going for.

And unless you're going FI, you don't need such wide wheels. In fact if the 8.5" wheel was the same face (same amount of concavity as the 9"/9.5") I would just go with that if I were you.
