My wife is wanting 18's on her 2011. Her biggest thing is that she wants 9" all the way around with at least a 2" outer lip. I can find rims like that all day long, but I don't know backspacing and offset. So if anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Parts on Order:
Eibach Pro Kit Springs
Koni STR.T Shocks
Shelby Strut Tower Caps

Well your certainly entitled to your opinion, but I'm mainly interested in the offset and backspacing.


SSR Wheels - SSR Professor SP-1

^ The wheels we've been thinking about getting. 18x9 in Hyper Black. Other wheels we've looked at on tire rack have backspacing specs listed larger than what SSR offers for 9" wide wheels.

The stock offset is +45 for the rear and for the front its +36. At least thats the stock offset on my 06, I am not sure about the 11's tho, I would guess it might be the same.

I would say you would be fine with a +40 offset all the way around.

I prefer the "pushed out" look myself, you know where the tires are even with the edge of the fender, not pushed out past the edge, I'll probably go with a +40 on the front with an 18X9 265/40/18 and a +45 on the rear with an 18X10 295/40/18. I think that will give me the look I'm going for.

Best of luck

Ok... Just to clarify, a +40 offset will be enough to fit both the front wheel wells with out rubbing the front tires. It will also sit near flush with the fender edges. If it doesn't sit near flush with the rear, I'll just get some spacers.

Mustanglvr2006, wusthof, thank you for your help.
