    Jaycura- I would not recommend these to fit on your car either. Like Shizzy, your car is hotness, but front wheel drive vehicles never should have staggered rims. (lol- with that said I can be guilt free if you just have to have them...)
    JITB- to enlighten you on staggered rims; they are staggered when the front rim and tire set-up is smaller than the rear rim and tire set-up. This ONLY benefits rear wheel drive vehicles for handling. It allows the rear wheels to receive more of the power and footing, and the fronts serve to steer more precisely. Alot of cars, if you look carefully, will come like that stock. My car came with 205-55-16 in front and 225-50-16 in back. G35's and Z's come staggered. Supra, New GTO, NSX are staggered. Viper and Corvette are heavily staggered- with different diameter rims in front and back. Even luxury boats from Europe like S500, E500, 750i, 645ci, 545i come staggered stock. They are optional on baby boats like C class and 3 series, but still pretty common. Thats why those cars that have deep dish lips in back will seem so much deeper than those in front.The trade off for looking cool and superior handling is NOT having the ability to rotate your tires. (a chance for increased and non-correctional tire wear. You had better keep your car aligned!)
    Back to the sale- the front sizes are 18x8" with 225-40-18 tires. The rear sizes are 18x9.5" with 265-35-18 tires. The rear wheels are 1.5 inches wider than the front! Please enjoy the examples of staggered rims below. PS- the wheels I am selling have just under a 2 inch lip in front with more than a 3 inch lip in back.
