please help with GRAMLIGHTS!

i'm picking up a brand new set of either 57 optomise or maximums.
here's the dilema...

the gun blue (dark gray) optomises only come in 18x9.5 all around +22... i have a g35 coupe and i was wondering if it would look right on a coupe... there aren't any lips on these wheels and the face would only show a concave look, not a lip.

on the other hand i could grab maximums with the same dilema...

or i could grab a staggered set of optomises in 18x8.5+22 and 18.x9.5+12... for a little more... anyone have any input on what to buy? the deals on these are ridiculous so that's why i'm tryin' to buy some now.

if you go with the staggered setup the front will stick out 14mm more than oem and the rear will stick out 34mm more than the oem rear. It might look pretty nice considering if you are pretty low you will have camber in there so I would go with the staggered setup

Concave looks great, so that's not a problem.

8.5 up front is pretty narrow though. You're going to need to run some sizable spacers on the fronts of the staggered set. Either set would look good but you'd want to run smaller spacers all around on the other set too.
