Looks like you could use another 10mm on the rear. Otherwise looks great.
I have 10mm front and 20mm rear going on Pomelo when I swap to summer wheels. BBS Delta X 17x7.5 et 38 final et 28 and 18. Will update with picks.

If they are the Vette wheels I'm thinking they are, I'm sure you could find someone to trade you 2 8.5's for 2 of your 9.5s. Then you would be sittin perfect I think, and possibly be able to run a smaller spacer/adapter. Only downside is then you can't rotate.

i dont think they make them staggered as far as i know. i didnt do sawblades. but yes they are very wide wheels. i have some 18x7.5 wheels waiting on adapters. not sure if i am gonna keep them or not though.

You're right, the vette wheels you have only came in 17x9.5.
If you're puttin on the wheels I think you are, they will look sweet!

okay since this is the wheel and spacer thread here we go, I just got a set of 18x8 A8 Reps from a fellow dubber for a great price only problem is that they are et42 so my question is will 15mm spacers in the back and 10 in the front work well or 5mm all around (figuring et42-5mm would be et37?) *note i have 4x4 stance as it's stock until next month.

JP, 10mm front and 20mm rear is what I'm running with et38 and my rears stick out every so slightly too far for my tastes but with an et42 they would be perfection.
 Hope this helps.

Stock 17x7 ET38 with 15mm ECS spacers in rear and no spacers in front but looking to 5-8mm in front (rubbing wheel well on locked turns.
