Looking to pick up SSR GT X01 rims. I'm torn between 18x8.5J 44 offset versus 18x9.5 45 offset. I have HKS coilovers with front camber bolt, and lower control arms in the rear. I don't want an aggressive look at all. I want a flush look, and this car is my daily driver.

Biggest difference between the two will be concavity and weight. This makes a big difference in the look of the wheel.

For this wheel it's offered in Face A, B, and C ('C' being the most concave.)

The 18x8.5" is available in "Face B" at 19.58 lbs with et 44 offset.
The 18x9.5" is available in "Face C" at 21.21 lbs with et 45 and 40 offsets.

Neither will "poke" and the 8.5" will probably be underflush (or sunken in) by a little bit (but still more flush than the stock setup.)

anyone know if a set of 18x8.5 +45 offset with a 245/35 in the front and 18x9.5 +45 offset rear with a 255 or 265/35 will have any clearance issues on bilstein b16 coils?
