Need Rim Advice

Just wanted to get somefeed back on this. Recently One of my 17's got cracked. So I'm looking at a particular rim from Victoria Tire and Wheel.
It's the (MB ITALIA 014 HYPER BLACK)

This is the link -

I was wondering if I can stagger the wheel profile. I want to put 18x8 up front and 18x9 at back?? I would need to know the offset on these. If any one has pics with these rims please post. Thanks.

Re: Need Rim Advice

All I can say is your tires will wear much faster. I'm sure your aware of that though.

Come to think of it, I guess the front would wear a bit faster?? I really did not anticipate that...

My roomate runs 18's on front and 19's on back of his BMW and he has a hell of a time with tires wearing out. If you just replace one or two tires you often end up with a rougher ride due to uneven tire wear ect... Just something to think about.

I also wanted to add, The rim size comes in 18x8 or 18x9. I'm gearing towards 18x9. Will I get fender rub in the front when turning?? I guess I would need the optimal Tire spec. which is 275/35/18.
