Front - 7.5" x 18" with 45mm offset with 225/50R18 W rated summer performance tires.
Rear - 8.5" x 18" with 50mm offset with 245/45R18 W rated summer performance tires.
That's the setup from the factory.
The offset is a little high. We know that an 8" wide wheel with 35mm offset fits pretty good... They will fit OK but will probably look kind of sunken into the wheel wells. The fronts could be close to hitting the struts, but I don't think they will. Easy to correct with some spacers. Spacer install is pretty straight forward too..
I really don't like staggered wheels especially on the Q.. Makes so you can't rotate them, and there's little to no performance advantage... Those tires aren't gonna be real cheap, so I prefer to get something that's the same all around so you can rotate front to rear.
