Default 17x9 staggered

I've been contemplating 17x9 +63 up front with 245-40-17. In the rear I've just been thinking 17x9+45 255-40-17. The 45 in the rear would have slightly more concave and stagger the setup by 18mm.
Has anyone ran a staggered offset on no staggered widths. Thanks

Too much. I agree with running the rear a bit more aggressive, but 18mm is too much for my tastes, besides which, your going to be rubbing the inside of the fender/control arms up front under susp compression. You could run up to a 5mm spacer up front to help and that would work, but I still would go in the +50-55 range up front. About 5mm difference between front to rear. Fitment will be more centered up front anyway and you could actually run a 255 square set up that way if you ever wanted to.

I heard 17x9 +63 is perfect up front?

^I'ts close. You may rub on what I think the control arm under full lock. A 3mm spacer will solve it.

Last thing I want to do is rub. I just ordered advan rsII 17x9 63 offset. Do you get any issues with spacers?

Nope, just make sure its no thicker then 5mm, if it is then you need to get spacers with studs in them, because you wont get enough turns out of the lug nuts on the oe studs. Hub centric spacers are best. Depending on the camber you want to run, will determine what spacer thickness you will need, but +63 on a 9" is going to rub on the inside with any camber at all, especially when your lowered. If you are lowered Id go 5mm. If your running an 8.5" wheel then 3mm would suffice.
