I'm sure preference is a part of it. Another (BIG) part is 18 vs 19 rims when it comes to those sizes and performance

Now THAT's good info! and rather impressive! that said, longer wheelbase of a C6 I can see how he can get away with it. That of course if my physics brain module is still working right with the silver rum and sweet tea I'm enjoying lol

I would keep the tire width closer to square. I'm not a fan of the extremely staggered setup, but that's just my preference in driving feel.

So what would be considered the “best” specs for 18s? I’m looking for a nice flush fitment. I know I want staggered so would 9.5 and 10.5 fit well? With what offsets?

+22/+12 should be fine in 9.5/10.5

I ran my nismo wheels at 19x9.5 +20/19x10.5 +8

A 19" wheel, but just to get a sense of the offset

Will a 9.75” wheel fit on 295/35/18? +20 offset

LOL, your question sounds like you have been drinking! And to answer your question a 295 35 18 tire will fit on a 18x9.75 +20 wheel!!!

I think it was more how he asked the question about the tire size for me. Not familiar with the sizing but I have seen the wheels.

Not to get off topic but does anyone in here run 18s up front, 19s in the rear? I know my old 350Z GT had Ray's that we're stock oem 18 front 19 rear and loved it

I run 19s in front and 20s in the rear so same concept? I've seen maybe one other guys run 19s in front and 18s in the rear and that looked great as well (reminded me of the first iteration of the JUN Akira Supra that ran an 18F/17R double-stagger).
