Hey guys, after alot of thought I have decided that im going to save up for a nice set of BBS LM reps, i want the staggered style and im thinking 18's but when it comes to wheel fitments/sizes I have no idea its like taking computers to a mother lol.
I wanted to know would i have to buy spacers? idealy id rather not and i have hered they can cause wheel wobble???
Also is going for the staggered look going to cause me problems at all?
Also i have seen a make called "Dare" are they anygood? or would you advise anyother makes?
Thanks alot for reading and look forward to reading replys. :)

18" in diameter, 9.5" wide rears and 8.5" fronts at an offset of et35. This will give you the staggered look and a nice width without the need for spacers.

quite like the staggered look depends on the look your after really and how low you gonna drop it etc to make them work with the cars overall look
