i want to go with 18's but was wondering do i need to get a setup
that is 18 x 8.0 in the front and 18 x 8.5 in the rear ? I am currently on 17's
( 17 x 7.5 in front and 17 x 8.0 in the rear )

 

yes.......

staggered is the way to go...

 

Do you care more about how they look or how easy you can rotate them? I don't think it would look bad, but a stagger looks better. The upshot to having four wheels of the same width is the ability to rotate all of the wheels instead of just two.

 

i guess like most of us, i do care about looks

 

Performance and fit wise, you are OK. Does it look stupid? The only thing stupid is asking others what is stupid?

 

yeah ** ur right ** probably ask the question incorrectly ** i guess i can be the final judge on the looks stupid part *** but since i cant seem to find any pics on how this would look, i was wondering if the rear wheels wont stick out far enuf in comparison with the front wheels being that all 4 wheels are 8.5.

 

You can go to autocross and the track and see plenty of cars running the same sizes wheels x4. That is done for handling and economy reasons. Some members prefer wider wheels in the rear. The decision is yours.
