18x8 front 18x9.5 rear

18x8 front and 18x9.5 rear TSW Snetterton is the next setup. Due to having a silver CL i feel very limited on the color of rims I am allowed but I think this is what I want.

I am currently dropped on some Tein ss coilovers. I dont want to purchase a camber kit until it becomes absolutely necessary.

I just need some help on offset ?!?! I rolled my rear fenders and probably will have to relocate the bumper tabs soon.

These are my size options

Front

18x8 20 offset or 40 offset??

( does offset make a difference with the lip size ? )

Rear

18x9.5 20 offset or 40 offset??

( which I am almost positive that I need 20 ? )

Anything helps guys thanks!!!!!

lips don't matter. You'll want the higher offset for both and you'll have to run camber in the rear and relocate tabs. Fronts will be fine, but rear will be tough to fit.

so then I should run the 40 mm offset? just to be clear. and i think i just will end up cambering out the rears too.

Definitely the 40 offset. Stock is 55 offset and 7 inches wide. You're going 2.5 inches wider and that offset pushes them out even further

The higher the offset, the better on this car. You'll probably need a fender pull if your got the wheels in 20 offset.

How do you relocate the front tabs because mine are rubbing against my tires (too low I guess)?
