Forgestars 18x9 +18 18x10 +25

I picked these up since I wasnt a fan of the stock 18's. They were always meant to be a temporary fix until I figured out what I was going to do. I've started to like them and now I might just space out the rears. I do like how they ride and will most likely stay with 18's even if I change wheels.

Anyone ever run 275/40 on stock offsets, I found some cheap hankooks and just one to buy them for a few events

I run 275/40 on the stock wheels. No issues at all that I have encountered. I don't track but do drive pretty spiritedly on some curvy mountain roads. I have never rubbed. The 275/40 18 is a 26.7" diameter tire so it should work.

19s+high performance tires+run flat=road noise and painful butt. Even my winter tires on my 19s stock wheels make me fell far better than stock tires.

Dig the 18's and sticking with them when I get new rims too. Next time some 325/35R18 out back though. Meaty tires ftw!

dvboy

That looks great,maybe I mis-understood you,but I don't think you will get 325/35r 18's to fit on the stock wheels.

Yeah I don't see why you would put anything bigger than 285s on the stock wheels. Even that's pushing it IMO

First off sorry for the rant...so im having issues finding the right setup.. I posted a while back with my current setup (Base 18's rear squared with 25mm rear spacer) so my front offset is the stock 18x9 +15 at my original height i was lowered to on my bc coils i rubbed all the time every driveway, over deep bumps etc. Front tires are the stock 225/50. I didnt have time to go in and raise it up as i have no access to a garage anymore so i just had the fenders rolled which fixed the issue. I have since raised it up and dont rub or scrap on anything anymore thankfully..
The issue im having though is that no matching wheel setups have the offsets im looking for, everything seems to be too wide in the front and not wide enough in the rear. I personally dont like the fronts to stick out pass where the rears would so to prevent that i would need a front setup of 9.5 +20 to +25 and a rear of 10.5 +5 to +10 (Currently at 18x9 -10) a +12 would be the minimum I would run. Theres no way i could run the popular 18x9.5 +15 in the fronts without having issues if i was already having issues with an 18x9 on narrow tires and 18x10.5 +15 is just shy of being wide enough to look right with that front setup anyway and yet it seems every non custom staggered setup is this or really close to this.. My dream setup would be 18x9.5 +22 front and 18x10.5 +10 rear, WITHOUT Spacers which apparently doesnt exist anywhere. Please Correct me if im wrong or missing something or if im the only one that feels this way, just looking for suggestions or alternatives that might be close or anything at this point ive searched for hours now between two days and have nothing to show for it.

Won't be on stock wheels

Contact Tom @ SpeedImageUSA
https://www.yelp.com/biz/speed-image-usa-fremont-2

He is local to you, and is the largest Rays Wheels retailer in Norcal, maybe all of california judging from the pallets of te37's he gets on a weekly basis.

This dude stocks a ton of stuff and can get you anything from Rays/SSR/Works/other brands

I am fairly certain, for example, that Rays Gram Lights variants come in 18s and close to those sizes
Example of Gram Lights 57DR: https://www.rayswheels.co.jp/product...=en&wheel=57DR
Comes in 18x9.5 +22 and 18x10.5 +12, basically right what you wanted

tell him Jon sent you!

I really appreciate the contact im relatively new to the area and dont know any shops out here yet so that helps alot.. Yeah those seem to be the only wheels I can find, other than TE37's which im trying to avoid just on the fact that it seems every z is running these or F14's lol No disrespect great wheels just wanna try something different.
