How about 18x8.5+30 or 38 all round! Also can't u just use spacers in the rear with the same width all around without creating more understeer while making it more flush?

This was asked earlier.

I'd like to run 18x9+30 front and 18x10+38 rear. In saying that, I'll be buying coilovers, that'll change any clearance issues wouldn't it?

Yes but maybe for the worse.

I feel all tame with the flush crowd chiming in. Must be getting old.

I'm going to run as close to stock offset as I can with 7.5 wide wheels sitting on 225s. Just tossing around whether or not I want to go with 17s or 18s. Leaning towards 17s currently for obvious reasons. 18s look really freakin good on this car though.

Can we get a picture like that of the op but with the wheel jacked up to normal ride height so we can get a better look at what offsets will fit. Of course the wheel will sink in alittle at the top when the suspension is settled....

Or is this what stock ride height looks like? Pictures are decieving...

we didn't get a chance to load the suspension to normal height, but this is not going to be off too much.

Should be no poke in the front with 8.5 +47.

If staying with 8.0, don't necessary need spacer. But if u want flush, I say around 15mm to 20mm spacers should do the trick.
