Default 18in wheels advice.

I need some measurements for Work XD9 18s and tire sizes staggered. I want to go wide as possible without having to worry about rubbing.

I'm trying to do a flush look similar to elude's s2000 in the thread below, but probably a finger gap between the tire and fender.

He uses 17's but I want to go 18's.

I havn't decided what suspension upgrades to get, but do you guys think I can achieve similar stance with just springs? I will be getting my fenders rolled as well.

It would be better if you found out what sizes and offsets are available.

No, you won't get the same thing with springs.

It looks like the example you gave is 17x9.5 +44 rear with a 255 / 17x8.5 +42 front with 225. In 18" your sizes are a little more limited.

I'd do 18x9 +38 rear with 255 / 18x8 +35 front with 225. Alternatively, for the front you could do a 18x9 +43 with a 245, but you might have to do a slight pull. The 8 +35 is closer to the setup you provided as an example.
