Default Hrm...what about RS-GTs? [Staggered offsets] - Diamond Black

Tread_Depot has BBS RS-GTs in Diamond Black 5x112 bolt pattern with an 18x8.5 size.

Here's a thought:
18x8.5 front et 35
18x8.5 rear et 32

I'm sure with an et35 offset up front they will clear the HP2 calipers. Any objections?<ul><li><a href="http://www.treadepot.com/orders/index.html?gclid=CJD0mbjB84gCFSVtFQodsD23pg">Click y - Tread Depot link</a></li></ul>

Not the most aggressive of a staggered setup though.

What is the purpose of offestting the rears 3mm more than the front. You won't even notice it.

Default Hey bud! Those wheels look awesome on Imola (think Ed4's B7, mmm)

No clue on what offsets would be good on that wheel as far as brake clearance etc. How's your car treating you these days?

Default I likey....

Just be aware that the RS-GT in diamond black is manufactured in two different factories. One in japan and one in germany i think. Anyway each factory produces a different shade of diamond black. One is very dark and the other is just a little darker than standard silver. I have the lighter color diamond black finish. For some reason i recall that the 18X8.5 et 35 don't fit for some reason. STFA and you should find the reason for that. I have the 18X8 et 35 and they fit fine. Don't know anything about staggered fitment though.

Default Nice... I've been secretly drooling over the RS-GT's myself and your pics aren't helping :-P

Any idea how much they weigh? Where did you get yours from?

TIA!
