rears will not fit, plus IMHO staggered wheels on a front wheel drive car is useless and is an injustice to your car. anyone that knows its fwd will just laugh at you.

I think the wheels look awesome! However, just dont get them staggered, thats all I meant. Try to find 38 offset and get 4 of the 18x8...you should be able to fit 35 offset as well, with minimal modification.

I cant find 18x8 MRR HR-2, I will just keep on looking for some rims, and yes I will be selling my current rims as soon as i find something that I like. If anyone is interested with the wheels I have let me know they are great looking but some clear coat is peeling off.

It hasnt been done but that dosent mean it cant be...

Right offset, rolled/shaved fenders (I am assuming you meant modified like flares or pulled out), and stretched tires it would work...



And PiterNYC...

You dont have to necessarily get staggered wheels to get a staggered look... you can just get some that have a larger lip in the rear than the front, but they can still be the same sizes and offsets... :)

you gotta roll the fenders right?

would 18X8. 35 offset, w/ 235s rub in the rears??? cause a lot of people have 225s on 8 width rims
