Default wheel offset question

I found a set of wheels that i really want in non staggered sizes. 18x8 all around. They have 3 offsets available. +45 (perfect for the front) +37, and +25. I know I could stagger the tires 215 or 225 for fronts, and probably 245s on the rear. how do you guys think this would look?

Would a 18x8 +25 offset wheel in the back with a 245 tire look good, or even the +37 offset in the rear? I know 25 mm=1 inch, but i also know that 20mm of offset difference does not equal 1 inch in wheel width.

What do you guys think??

Anyone doing this or should it be done?

+25 is not going to work with out over fenders. +37 will require a roll, maybe a pull, and lots of negative camber. +45 all around is what Enki Rfp1's come in, and lots of guys run those.

Why do you want non staggered 8" wide wheels? I would at least go with a 8.5 or 9 for non staggered. Just my opinion.

Maybe someone else will help more...

If you are going to run the same size wheels why stagger the tires. I also agree that the 25mm opffset would take a whole lot of work.

18x8 is all they offer, no 18x9 unfortunately. I thought the +25 would be too much, but thought the +37 could possibly work. i will probably go another route though.

Thanks guys!

I tried some 18x8s on my car before with 225/40/18 tires. Too heavy & car rode like crap.

Heres a pic, it didn't look bad but it rode like sh|t.
