Default 18x9 all around on a sedan

Looking at going 18x9 w/40mm offset for both front and rear on a 255/40/18, is it possible, or should I jsut stick to 18x8 front and 18x9 rear?
I'm currently dropped on unrevised 350z springs, but might go lower in the front.

Currently



Here's the possible wheel, some concave to it.



comparison of the concave 18x9 on left and 18x8 on right

I am sure you can put on the 18x9. Haven't some guys used 18-19 X10?

18x9+30 will def need a roll/aggressive camber in the rear, alot of sedan guys running the OEM coupe 19's with 8.5+33 still rub in the rear without a roll

Okay, so it seems that it's safe to say that 18x9 all around w/40mm offset will work fine.
I think that would look better than staggering 18x8front and 18x9rear.
Can't wait to see how it'll look w/255/40/18 all-around.

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp
