or

R: 18x9.5 's w/ 245/40/18

I have a 2.5 and the eibach pro-kit
Would the staggered setup stick out too far? Rubbing?
THANKS!

why must people make new threads when one already exists? :facepalm:

by the way, it helps if you post up your offset.

Thanks for the link! The 18x8's have a offset of 42mm. Does that change with the x9.5? I'm sorry I don't really understand all this stuff. Is that a big difference from stock?

a lot of this stuff depends on offsets. 18x8 with 42 will fit no problem, in fact you'll still have some room, 18x9.5 will be a tight squeeze. what offset are your 9.5 rims? they're 1.5" wider than your the other rims so they're going to stick out .75" more on either side so you have to make sure they fit. an 8.5" rim with 33 offset fits really flush with the fenders, so if you're going 9.5" rim, you probably want your offset to be 45 or greater, but any more than that and you risk your wheels sticking in too far and touching suspension parts. either way, 9.5 is pushing it, they'll lickely stick out past the fenders a little.
