Staggered Rims??
I am not sure if this goes in this section or in suspension... but anyways...
I am thinking of getting staggered sized rims for the tC... obviously its mostly for looks, as you can get a much deeper lipe with wider rims. My question is, If i were to go with a 18x9.5 rim in the rear... what kind of offset should it be? and will there be any issues if i was to only have stock struts with H-tech springs? I know that with coilovers you have obviousl smaller perches.
Any help would be appreciated.

if i were you.. i would go with a +30 or somewhere around there.
but then again, their is no reason to go with that wide of a rim, not usre if you ahve seen them or not..
AXIS wheels makes these wheels called the "WIDETRAK" and they are 18x8 and have a huge lip.

P.S.
The reason i said 9.5 wide is car Sport Max 962 have a weird anomoly in there rim line up....
If you get a 18x7.5 rim.. it has a 2.5 inch lip... you would think that a 18.8.5 would be the next step for the rear, but the 8.5 wide rims have only a 2 inch lip. I would have to bump up to a 18x9.5 rim since it comes with a 3.25 lip

Coming from someone WITH staggered rims, i'd say if your going to go 18x9.5 then 35 would be the perfect offset to be flush with the body...18x9 with a 35 offset and it think its perfect, as far as your drop, you should be fine with H-techs, i'm on Hotchkis and im fine, BUT i do RUB when i carry passangers or heavy cargo in the rear. If you have other questions PM me
