Just recieved my wheels today from a ebay purchase and they messed up the order. I was suppose to get a set of 18x8.5 Axis Reverb gunmetal color for my TC. I just pulled them out of the box and 2 are 18x8.5 and 2 are 18x9.5. Will I be able to get away with doing this staggered setup? 9.5in looks extremly wide! I have the car at stock height but will look to lower it with tein h-techs. Does anyone have pics of staggered look on the tc? THANKS!!!

 

They will work fine. Just put 225 in the front and the next size in the back

 

depends on the offset in the rear...

 

The offset for the 18x8.5 is 35 and the 18x9.5 is 40.
I was thinking 225/40-18 and 255/35-18 for tires.

 

i think crazy chris is running that same widths...might wanna ask him

 

if u have bigger tires in the rear u wont be able 2 rotate them keep that in mind

 

lol he wont be able to rotate period

do it man, it will be fine, and make sure you slam it too, it would look stupid on stock height

 

Im not really worried about rotating. Is anyone running this staggered 18in setup?

 

lots of people are. search

 

you should be fine. i've seen a few people run that size on Axis wheels. I'd get 235 or 245 (preferably the narrower/smaller size) for the rear. you'll be sitting flush. It'll look really nice once you drop it. You may (but most likely) have to roll the rear fenders once you lower it. You may be able to avoid rolling fenders if you: dont keep car audio stuff in the trunk, never have 4 people in the car, and moderately lower your car (Tein H-techs should be good), and stick to a narrow tire (wider = rubbing).

 

Sounds like 235/40-18 will be a better fit for the rear. THANKS

 

you could be more aggressive

 

Do it! it will look great

 

Well im going to give it a shot. Buying tires today. Ill post pics when I get them installed.

 

Just got the front tires installed, now just waiting for the rear tires. The rim to the left is a 18x9.5 axis reverb

 

Ill have a picture of the wheels on the car wednesday! I will also get my trd 18 silver wheels on my other tc. I cant wait.

 

Lowering next weekend with tein H tech

 

what tire sizes did you get? nicely stretched.

 

what are your offsets?

 

nvm found it.
