I know you guys get these kind of questions all the time but I just need a quick answer.I'm thinking about buying the Sport Max 962's and I'm going for a wild staggered setup along the lines of 18x7.5 38 offset front and 18.9.5 35 offset Rear.

So my question is will the wide rear wheels fit on?

Your going to create oversteer conditions with that big of a difference between front and rear rims.

I guess I should go with the 18x8.5 setup in the front then?

Those are some massive wheels for such a little car. I'm pretty sure you'd be adding weight compared to stock. If ya gotta, what about 18x8" all around with maybe 34-37 offset. What wheels are you using now, do you have traction issues? Sometimes just getting new quality rubber will make a huge difference.

I just want wide wheels not worried about the extra weight because I have a RB25DET with plans for more power and I know the reason I have problems with traction now is because I really need an LSD

Uh, yeah if you have an rb and no lsd then ya prolly have no traction.
