For staggered I always recommend our default option:

Front: 18x8.5" ET35 or ET38 with 225/40-18 tires
Rear: 18x9.5" ET58 with 255/35-18 tires

-Available in ARC-8, EC-7, or EC-7R design only.
-235/40-18 front tires can also be used, but we strongly suggest dialing in front negative camber to prevent rubbing. Amount of camber varies depending on tire brand and ride height.
-18x8.5 ET45 wheels can be used up front instead of ET35. These wheels will require 5mm spacers but will fit a 235/40-18 more easily than the ET35 option.
-265/35-18 rear tires may also be used, but may require 3mm or larger spacers, or trimming fender liner and shock dust boot.

The higher offset requirements of the 1 & 2 series led us to produce these wheels. They will suit the tires you are looking to run as long as the above tire notes are followed.

Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Thanks again,

-Tom
