Hi, Finding 18" wheel options for my UZZ31 a bit hard to come by in suitable offset. Looking for a staggered fitment. These seem the best options so far: Work Emotion XD9 18x8 +45 $500 18x9 +43 $520 Work Emotion 11R 18x8.5 +47 $510 18x9.5 +38 $530 Work XT7 18x8.5 +46 $510 18x9.5 +38 $530
Would love to have any other recommendations you are aware of. Please include size and offset specs. Murray +++ jpeg +++ 309360 +++ Upload ++++++ jpeg +++ 309361 +++ Upload ++++++ jpeg +++ 309362 +++ Upload +++

+50 offset = no dish = ghey looking.
But if you do run a +50 offset, try to get 255 fronts and 265/275 rears.
I'm running 245/40/18 fronts and 265/35/18 rears and with my coil overs dialed in, its sticks to the tarmac like sh.it on a shovel!
Soarers need wider front tyres as they have a lot of weight in the front half of the car due to the engine, electrics and so forth. I had my 17s on the car for 2 weeks whilst I got new tyres sorted for the 18s and the handling was not as good, if not a bit squeamish on my usual street course.
Also it depends on whether you want that stretched look. For the none stretched look there is a rule of thumb for tyres 45 profile and under. It is something like the rim should be around x% * tyre width. Rounded up to the nearest half inch. I think x is 85%, but I can't find my reference. e.g 235mm is 9.25" * 85% is 7.86" rounded up to an 8" rim.
