Offset Question Hi i'm about to order a set of staggered 18" rims for my T/A they are 8.5 inches wide in front 9.5 in the rear What kind of offset should I order them in to get the rims almost perfect with the fender all the way around the car I was thinking 35+ but i'm unsure I don't want to order the wrong offset and have them sticking out or sticking in the fender. Thanks

I have that exact combo dude. I have Ruff Racing Wheels on my bird. 18's all around with 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the back and all have a 35mm offset.
The front wheels will sit inside the wheel well; however the rear wheels will sit flush with the top of the rear fender. You may need to get the rear fender lip trimmed. I had to because I went with a Nitto 285/35/18 out back and the tire made contact with the lip when I hit a decent dip. To avoid this problem I'd suggest you choose a 275 in the back instead of a 285.

Thnx bro.
In these pics I have the eibach prokit with bilstein hd's. However recently I put Koni SA's with stock springs on. I am contemplating putting my eibach springs back on cause I like the lowered look.
