Another rim fitment question.
 
I have read alot on the off set and rim sizes. I have found a set of rims I really like and would like to know if anyone is running the size i found.


Front 18x8.5
Rear 18x9.5
Off set 35mm

I am more worried about the front rather than the rear. Not to worried about weight over looks. The TII has 17's on it and ....well.... I would rather have the look of the extra inch plus I think the staggered look looks awesome on the fc and fd's. I have seen some FC's with 18's and like the look. I just don't know if the 8.5 will fit the front.
Post pics if possible of your 18's
Thanks

I highly doubt that an 8.5 will fit in the front with a 35mm offset. I'm pretty sure even an 8" wide wheel won't fit with that offset.

This is what I was thinking. I have tried to contact the tire shop to see if they can get the same rim in gunmetal with the polished lip but in sizes

18x7 front
18x8.5 rear
with the 35mm offset

I think this setup would work but I am sure then the price of the rims will shoot up.
