For us BBK guys that 18x7.5 front is great with the +42 offset.

I actually had to debate/justify either a +37 or +43 front with my Works. +37 is what I was just running and that was fine at a 3 inch drop. The key is to clear the BBK with no spacers which the +37 will do. The +43 will require a 5mm spacer so hense I went with the +37. 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear is what tire setup I went with. I went with a 18x9 +67 rear.

You need a staggered rear. Go with a 8.5 or 9.0.

Good luck..
