Default What offsets and faces do I need SSR SP3

I'm in the market for some wheels, and want to run SSR SP3 wheels. I know I want to run 18 and I wanted to do a staggered setup. So probably 9 front and 10 rear. I also am entertaining running spoon mono bloc calipers up front.

Can anyone tell me what offset and faces I need to run this setup?

Forgot to add I do not want to run flares or pull my fenders either. Prefer to just have to roll flat and tab relocate so probably a good recommendation on tires to run also would be awesome.

For front brake clearance you will need the HP disk, so you are looking at a 9" +44 (42mm lip). You should be able to run the SL disk in rear for maximum lip size (80mm), chart shows a 10" +49.

FYI it is generally helpful to post a link to the wheel manufacturer site. What nate said is correct. You will need a roll and some pulling on the front as well as tab relo and -2.5 front and -2.5 for the rear.

My apology, so if I Diddnt want to do any pulling I need to go down to per say a

18x8.5 +47 MD Disk ( 1.65 inch lip )
18x9.5 +55 SL Disk ( 2.64 inch lip )

Or would that wheel size be ok without pulling? I need to figure out my tire sizes too :/

You need to determine tire size first and then pick the best wheels to accomplish that goal. For example, a 225 tire on a 9" +44 front will be perfectly fine with just a roll and no pull. Now if you wanted a 255 up there then you would need a slight pull/flare.

It's hard to find a good setup between 225/255 and 245/285, there obviously is a fairly big difference in amount of fender clearance needed.

Just to recap,

18x9 +44 225/35

18x10 +49 225/35

This fitment requires no pulling just roll and relo? I been browsing around and see some run 30 in rear to maintain the profile?

Yes, but tire size should be 225/40 front, 255/35 rear. Sidewall measurement is a percentage, so if you ran a 285 then it should be a 30 to maintain stock diameter.

Thanks for the help, I should really check over my post before posting.

18x9 +44 225/40
18x10 +49 255/35

This setup will clear spoon mono blocs, and require no pulling just roll and tell. I'm fairly low too
