wheel questions

i have a stock ride height 06tl with automatic. I like the flush look in the front and rear. If i go with a 18" wheel, do i need to go with different widths in the front and rear or can i go with the same size wheel, but differnt offsets. i do like the staggered look, but i want to be able to rotate the tires. It seems to me the most of the pics i've seen on here, i like the way the front looks, but the rears look like they are pushed in too far. any advise for sizing would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to be able to rotate them you'll need the same size and offset front and rear and you could always put spacers on the rear to give it more of a staggered look.

for those to be flush youd probably need 20mm or 25mm spacers for wheels to be flush. I have 15mm in the back and they are not flush, but close. I am on stock wheels with similar specs except 17".

This is the back wheel with a 15mm spacer.




This is the front wheel with 15mm spacer.



I got 10mm spacers for the front and 15mm for the back but now that I know what they look like I would go with 15mm in the front and 20-25mm in the back. Also note that I am lowered 1.5" all around and that my camber is out of spec, making the wheel more sunken in up top.
