Wider wheels?

Hey every one I'm new on this forum, I'm looking for input and any first hand experience with wheel fitment on our cars,
Suspension moods to this point h&r stings on oem shocks
I will be getting Konig yellows for the h&r springs.

I was looking at a staggered set up with
18x8.5 with +35 - front
18x9.5 with +40 - rear

Any input or if any one runs this set up
Thanks danny

Go do the right thing and get Apex Arc-8 wheels. Proper maximum tire widths for stock setup.

18x8.5 +45 F
18x9.5 +62 R

Your max tire is 235/40-18 F (245 w/camber plates), 285/30-18 R, but 275/35 will cause less issues.

That's tire setup for grip. If you're looking for a certain look, like stretched then it's a totally different setup.

If you don't mind some stretch those will be fine. It all depends on whether you want performance or looks. Youll also need some camber, but those aren't too bad.

I'm not really looking for a grip or a race look, I'm going more for a stance look,
The stretch tire I don't mind as long it's not much and I also didn't want the wheels to poke out much over the fender.

That's more aggressive than I'd typically recommend. Usually for a nice flush fitment that isn't too hard to fit, an 18x8.5 ET45/18x9.5 ET50 with 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 tires ends up working nicely.

I'm just focused on this wheels
3sdm 0.06 and they only offer them in that offset and size for my lug
Last thing I wanted to do is have to pull or role fenders.

They'll work, most likely will need to roll the fenders though. Shouldn't need to pull them with +40 offset.

Those are e90 offsets which are generally too aggressive. You'll need to run narrow rubbers, camber and roll some fenders.
