staggered wheels set up question.. :)

**savetheclutch** · 08-25-2008 01:12 PM

I got a good deal on some nice 3 piece wheels.
Fronts are 18x8.5 with 225/40/18 offset 30
Rears are 18x9 withi 245/35/18 offset 40

I am on stasis street c/o. Is anyone running a set up similar? or knows if this will work, do I need spacers? do I need to roll fenders?

The tires have about 60% life left but if I need to get new tires then what would work good?

The wheels are Hamann PG made by OZ

These numbers assume a 17x8 et35 as the stock size.

The 18x8.5 will have 1mm less inside clearance and 11mm less outside than stock.
The 18x9 will have 18mm less inside clearance and 8mm less outside.

mm right now I am running 18x8 oettinger and 235/35/18 tires, Could I use those same numbers to try and measure?

also that means I pretty much need spacers at least in the back right?

nice wheels,they look like they need to be refinished a little though........

they will be, I got them for dirt cheap, considering that they sold for $996 per wheel. I got them for lees than half of one wheel :) one of the lips is bent but it is on its way to PA to get fixed. I don't know if polish them of powdercoat them black or something :)

^^ since you live in NJ do you know of any shop that does fender rolling?

Thank you for the link, time to do some home work :)

That santorin center idea has some potential.. I got some paint in my garage so time to try it
