Fronts 9" rear 10"

Stock wheels too heavy. Tire limit is 275 max also.

Obviously want to run the widest I can, but guess I could run 18 x 8.5 front if it helped and 18 x 9.5 rear if I had to (or 10 rear).

Trying to avoid spacers unless I want them for track. Also rule that limits tires sticking out wider than body work although i am not as worried about that.

What offset on these? I see the 18 x 9 +20 and they also have 18 x 9 +36
The rears are 18 x 10 +18 and +36 which I assume both would fit the rear?

These wheels look nice enough, need to check weights now. If I can save 4-5 lbs per wheel I will likely go Volks to get the weight saving.

Weights are 18 x 9 are 19.5 and 18 x 10 are 20.4

I like the gunmetal and also the black/blue. Not bad looking, thanks for the idea. I like buying different sets (color) so we can keep them straight so this isn't too shabby. Little heavy but not overly heavy and the price isn't bad.

Can anyone weigh in my offset questions on these in my post above?

I made a post here under track and the 18 x 9 +35mm enkei pf01 apparently fits also and are 19.2lbs.

FWIW another site says the SA-55 18x9 actually +38 weigh nearly 21lbs. 2lbs each corner is a lot. Hmmm.

+20 front and +18 rear are good. both will still be slightly sunk but no more then 5-10 mm. and as for weights, thats why i love my tc105n's! 18x9.5 @ 17.6lbs and 18x10.5 @ 18.4lbs

I have RAYS Gram Lights 57G (Hyper Bronze) in 8.5 x 18 +33 for front and 9.5 x 19 +22 for rear with 3" ARP wheel studs so I can tune the handling with hub-centric spacers to adjust the front track.

I run 245/40R18 and 275/35R18 on these wheels and have no real issues.

I also have a set of TE37's in 8.5 x 18 +30 (F) and 9.5 x 18 +35 (R) which I use a 13mm hub-centric spacer with to give me +22 at the rear.

These all clear the sport brakes without any issues.

I have a spacers for the front (again - all hub-centric) in 4mm, 6mm and 10mm to tune the front track when required.

tell me about it

i just bought +25s and they dont clear
