Seems like everyone is looking for a staggered setup with 18x9 +25 front and 18x10 +20 rear. I definitely want to get this order in for you guys, any one else have input on offsets and colors?

I only listed a couple colors in the first post but we can special order any color. We will do two colors on our first order, Hyper Black will be one of the colors as it looks awesome on the Boost. Make some suggestions for the second color Gold, Flat Black, Gun Metallic, White, etc..

If your looking for sales to guys that actually race 19X9 +25 and 19X10 +35 would be what we would be interested in. We don't stretch tires and want to maximize the rubber. I run a 275/35/18 front and a 305/35/18 rear. Those tires won't fit with agressive offsets. I guess these will be for the sretched tire crowd riding at close to stock height.

18x9 +18 and 18x10 +20 would be ideal.


will the concavity of the spokes change (design change) with a more aggressive offset or are you going to be just extending the mounting hub area thickness?

JETPILOT - The majority of our customers do not run tires that wide, and if they were to run a competition tire I would not recommend a 275 wide tire for a 9" wheel and a 305 wide for a 10" wheel. Those tire sizes are a bit too wide for the wheels and will bulge a bit. Most people will run a 245-255/40/18 - 275/40/18 setup on VDC equipped cars or a slightly wider 255-265/35/18 - 285-295/35/18 setup.

Motormouth - The wheel face will remain the same, offset will be changed with the hub. The 18x10 wheel is designed to have an effective offset of +30 down to +10. From the input of others we will most likely have the 18x10 made in +20

18x9 +25 Front and 18x10 +20 rear, any other input or are these offsets great for everyone?

Going to get an order in early next week for these wheels So far we are going to order Hyper Black for sure and the other color is still undecided, might do Gun Metallic. Make some suggestions

the first colors should be hyper black and gold. That should get a good enough interest. I think 18x9 +20 and 18x10 +20 would be nice. Gold would be hot.

+20 all around maybe even +15 all around. At least with a 18x9 with a +20 you could sell to the 240sx crowd. I believe they will hit the coilovers with +25.

+25 offset is a no vote for me.

If you want to sell to 240 guys, make 19x12 -15 w/ 205/60/19 tires stretched on.

i see a 18x9 +23 and the 10 +23, so yeah the +25 works great. f' all that super aggressive offset BS, i want to be able to fill out a wheel.

maybe make a 19x10 for us wanting a 18/19 staggar. btw i really like those wheels, when are they going to be available

The spec for a Toyo R888 305/35/18 is for a 10" wide to 11.5 " wide wheel.

The spce for an R888 275/35/18 is a 9-10.5" wheels.

I'm in for a more aggressive offset... +25 is sunken in still.
the idea of +20 all around isn't bad...
I'm with 4thhorse, +15/+15 Rear would be really perfect and ideal.
My color preference is flat black or gunmetal.

I also agree with Voboy. +15 or lower on the offset. That way I can switch from the Z to my widebody 240 with ease.

The 18x9 Boost is 22 lbs, the 18x10 should be around 23-23.5 lbs

Guys:

just remember too, since the offset does not affect the 'face' or 'lip' of the wheel, you can easily run a 5 or 10 mil spacer to give you the +15 offset you want.

it'll cost an extra 100-200 bucks, but then everyone gets what they want

I won't buy wheels that need a spacer. I will shop and find wheels that fit right without
