flame if you wish.. Wheels Im ordering

so ive been looking for a couple months now for a set of staggered wheels... cam across these





the fronts are 18x8.5 and the rear are 18x9.5 the offset on both front and back is 35mm.(will probably go 19's though)

I like these wheels and staggered fitments. i have wanted to do this since i owned a VW GTI. They will have to be drilled because the bolt pattern on there is 5x112. so there will be another set of holes. 9.5 in the rear is a must. i want the fender to roll smoothly with the stretched tires.

Example....I know its a VW but it gives you an idea. look at the rear tires....



Whats everyones opinions??

dannnnng....man. no one has a like or dislike??? thats rare for this forum..

I personally like the wheels but I would just go with 19s both front and back without the stagger look. Good luck thought and post some pics when its done!

They look nice but isn't a 8.5 wide wheel to wide for the front? What size tires are you going with all around?

no i dont think 8.5 will be to wide.. since they will poke a lil in the front.

i havent figured that out yet.. im gonna do some more searches on stretching tires to see what the best size would be for 8.5 wide.

well my opinion is that bigger tires on the back of a fwd car is rediculous... not bashing, but you asked! either way, best of luck, the wheels themselves aren't bad at all.
