Looking at the sportline 8s 18" wheels. I like that they are semi forged and light.

Car is sitting on pss10's, pretty low. This is a daily driver currently on stock wheels / tires.

Need advice on wheel size and offsets.

They offer:
18x8.5 5x120 +32 20.2 lbs
18x8.5 5x120 +45 19.6 lbs
18x9.5 5x120 +22 21.2 lbs
18x9.5 5x120 +45 19.8 lbs
18x9.5 5x120 +62 20.4 lbs

I do NOT want the "stretched" look or have the wheels "poking" out.

Should I go with a square set 18x8.5et45? Is a 245 too wide up front?

Stay staggered at 18x8.5et45 and 18x9.5et45? Tire size recommendations?

Help

Thanks, Jason

I think my BBS CK's are 18x8 ET 45, with 245's square. Look fine to me. I gave a 10mm spacer in rear.

I think I am heading towards a square 8.5 setup.

I would assume neither et32 or et45 will work. maybe a 5-10mm spacer needed with the et45's.

thoughts? thanks, Jason

Quick update.
I scuttled the lower offset idea. This is my daily driver. Did not want to increase camber or roll fenders.
Went with the tried and true Apex. Perfect fitment in my opinion.

Yeah I am trying to figure out offsets and widths and I am thinking of just settling on 8.5 et40 to keep my daily driver from rubbing. I really wanted to do some 9.5 in the rear but seems like it might be too much of a hassle.

I'm running 17x8.5 +40 245/40/17

Rear is rolled a bit, and I run camber F/R -3/-2

Same as Derek, but not rolled because not as low. Can't go wrong with the "safe" sizes. Looks great OP!

Thanks guys. Really like the hyperblack on silver. Anxious for the weather to warm up and get proper pics. Maybe a tint too?

cheers, Jason
