First off sorry for the rant...so im having issues finding the right setup.. I posted a while back with my current setup (Base 18's rear squared with 25mm rear spacer) so my front offset is the stock 18x9 +15 at my original height i was lowered to on my bc coils i rubbed all the time every driveway, over deep bumps etc. Front tires are the stock 225/50. I didnt have time to go in and raise it up as i have no access to a garage anymore so i just had the fenders rolled which fixed the issue. I have since raised it up and dont rub or scrap on anything anymore thankfully..
The issue im having though is that no matching wheel setups have the offsets im looking for, everything seems to be too wide in the front and not wide enough in the rear. I personally dont like the fronts to stick out pass where the rears would so to prevent that i would need a front setup of 9.5 +20 to +25 and a rear of 10.5 +5 to +10 (Currently at 18x9 -10) a +12 would be the minimum I would run. Theres no way i could run the popular 18x9.5 +15 in the fronts without having issues if i was already having issues with an 18x9 on narrow tires and 18x10.5 +15 is just shy of being wide enough to look right with that front setup anyway and yet it seems every non custom staggered setup is this or really close to this.. My dream setup would be 18x9.5 +22 front and 18x10.5 +10 rear, WITHOUT Spacers which apparently doesnt exist anywhere. Please Correct me if im wrong or missing something or if im the only one that feels this way, just looking for suggestions or alternatives that might be close or anything at this point ive searched for hours now between two days and have nothing to show for it.
