Of course you would, wide body!

I say stick to single digit +/- offsets for your first set 9.5/10.5 or 10/11 IF you don't have somebody with know how to help

I've got another one for you guys.

Why does it seem as if everyone runs a staggered setup? I understand that it maintains the factory differences in tire widths, but wouldn't the cons outweigh the pros by a long shot? With a staggered setup, you can't rotate tires, so the back two would need to be replaced more than the fronts. Also, ordering two different sized tires can be a bit of a pain. The deals and discounts usually come with the purchase of all 4 tires.

If someone could help me understand this, I'd appreciate it. I'm having a hard time understanding why just about every G I've seen has staggered wheels.

because we don't drive economy cars. if you can't even afford to run 2 different sized tires, sell the car and buy yourself an econobox.

i have to spend more on tires, but i don't care because it's a RWD sporty car and i'd rather not run a square setup.

^ I guess that makes sense! I think I've decided to go with a staggered setup after more research. I was only curious if there were any other pros that I was missing.

Hey guys I drive a 09 Sedan and I'm going to pick up a set of Nismo lmgt 4 wheels with this profile : F: 18x8.5 +25 Offset R:18x9.5 +30 offtset

I'm on stock springs and shocks, I'm not going for the hella flush or stretched tire look. I would like them to be as flush as possible though. Any advice on how these are going to fit? Will I need to roll my fenders, set negative camber, etc? Also what shock and springs options will work best if I ru nthese?

Looks like you may need to repowder coat them too? Keeping it white?
