Thanks. It's been a while so I double checked the spacers, they are actually 20m in the rare and 15m in front.

You're running 255 square?

If you're not opposed to a roll the 17x9 +49 Wedssport TC105Ns are freaking baller looking and really light as well. What's your budget?
Very good suggestion! Thanks RC ... I wanted a darker finish (matte gunmetal or charcoal) but it might work. Just under 17 lbs for a 18x9, that's light!
I dont know about you, but this just looks freakin dope as shit to me. Those are 17"s though

I'm slowly getting more open minded about 17s. On a lowered car they look pretty good!

Sorry guys but need some more help here. I had finally decided on getting Forgestar F14s in either a square 255 set-up or 225/255 staggered (still undecided) but can't seem to get the right offsets for the front for either options.

Below is the wheel design I'm looking for and I'm partial to a gunmetal finish or flat black in a light 18". Any suggestions in this style that actually fits the car or is the Nurburgring the only choice (find it a little heavy).

18×9.0 offsets from +20 to +55

What do you mean you cannot find the right offsets? You can run a number of different setups with the above range of offsets. for 255 all around do 18x9 +45. If you want a staggered setup do 18x8.5 +45 fronts and 18x9.5 +50 rear. 225 front 255 rear. These would just need a fender roll and an alignment. There is plenty of different combos that would work given the range of offsets the wheels are offered in.

Really appreciate your help Manga, thanks!

So the fitment chart on the sticky isn't the holy bible? lol ... I just don't want to screw up my very first mod on the car. So you're saying the Forgestar guy's are right then? either setups would work with their wheels? I'm really leaning towards going square, hence a set of 4 18x9.5 ET55, since I'm not a fan of understeer. I'd rather wag my tail than plow the field! (well depends on the context of course, wink wink, nudge nudge!)

Lol. Yeah those would fit well but you would still need a fender roll. And no the fitment guide is definitely on the conservative side of things but it is a good general guide. Look at this

Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 1.7mm further away from the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 14.4mm more than before.

The strut shown in the diagram is for show only. Don't worry if the wheel looks like it fouls!

Basically a 18x9.5 +55 sits at nearly the same place on the inside as a 18x9 +63 and is just barely further out Seems like a good setup to me. Hell you could do +50 and it would be fine.

I would go 18x9+55 if you want 255 square. You will still need a good roll in front. If you're worried about tuck in the rear you could always stagger the offsets and do 18x9+45 in the rear
