Wheel Width/Offset

Looks like the best offset I can get on some 18 X 8.5's is +30. Will that be ok? I can't decide whether or not to get Staggered (width only). I was thinking 8.5 front and 9.5 rear. What do you guys think? For the 18 X 9.5 I can get a +22 offset, which I guess is correct?

Those numbers are for this wheel:



The other wheel I'm looking at is the Black Racing Pro-N1 but I can't find many places that sell them. I was able to find their website and it seems that they will fit, but not quite as well as the 5Zigens. For 18X9 the best offset I can get is +30, and for 18X8 I can do either +30 or +38. Here is their site: http://www.arw.co.jp/wheel/br/br_n1a.html



I also like the Buddy Club P1 Racing NF, but they only come in 18X9.0, and the offset is +35, that's too much right? BTW, how much are these Buddy Club wheels? I love Buddy Club, Advan, Nismo, and Volk, but they all cost a ton! Heh.



Thanks!

With the Fns, you got a good offset.
Those black racing..the offset isnt that bad. If needed you can use a 5mm spacer.
And for BC...I thought they would have more offsets then that, I dont think the 35+ offset will work..

Sorry for these posts... but here's what I mean. In the Nismo wheels for the 350Z, which I'm thinking about getting, the offset is:

Front --> 18 X 8.5 +25
Rear --> 18 X 9.5 +30


Those won't work will they? I'm just so confused.

the 8.5 will work, not sure on the +30 for the 9.5
I know its confusing, im still learning stuff about offsets. I forgot to mention, For the rear the offset can be a lil higher then I have mentioned. So the 30+ MIGHT be 0k..ur ganna have to ask a expert on that one.
