Sanity Check
Are these the correct size (offset)? Im just not sure if the 32 and 35 is correct for the staggered set as they offer several different offsets with the 18 X 8.5 and 18 X 9.5 size (please see the link)...
Fronts: Mandrus Manheim - Gun Metal - Gun Metal - 18" x 8.5" - 32 - 5/112
Rear: Mandrus Manheim - Gun Metal - Gun Metal - 18" x 9.5" - 35 - 5/112
Gonna order them from 1010tires.com:

Hey 07, those are decent offsets for those widths. For what it's worth, that's the same offsets i am running with my TSW Crofts. My fronts are only 8" wide though. My rears are 9.5 wide. 225/40/18 tires in front, and 255/35/18 in back. You may be able to go 235 in the front with the slightly wider front wheel.
You should be alright with those. I am pretty low on H&R coilovers and i clear the coilover perch,etc with no rubbing probs. Good luck on it. The Manheim is sweet looking wheel.

So would you recommend a different off-set? Here are the options:
18" x 8.5"
18" x 8.5"
18" x 8.5"
18" x 9.5"
18" x 9.5"
18" x 9.5"
I am looking at the Pirelli P-zero Nero... what have you heard about them? What size would you recommend? I want to stay as close as possible to stock ride height.
Thanks for your help man, I really appreciate it.

IMO, I would stay with those offsets. I think the Pirelli PZero Neros are good tires for the $$$.
I had a set on BMW a few years back and liked them. As far as sizes, i would run with a 225or235/40/18 up front and a 255/35/18 in back. Those sizes keep you pretty close to overall stock wheel/tire diameter. Definitely post up some pics when you get the set-up on. Good luck on it, Greg

I just got new wheels as well same size as you are considering and the 32-35 offset works great for our cars. Have to be careful on clearance for the fronts, on both sides of the rim, so those offsets are a good choice.
