Staggered look

Everyone, i just purcheased the brabus of taiwan monoblock V's. They don't come staggard, but i bought different size tires. I have 225/40/18 in the front and 255/40/18 in the back. Do you think that would make the rims look staggered? Should i put in spacers to make them look bigger in the back? Let me know your thoughts.......

if u put wider tires on the rears, it'll look wider from the back...
i don't think they'll look staggered from the front/side since the lips are the same on fronts and rears...

Thru using I came across peeps using no bigger than 265 on their oversized rims. So, an educated guess would be 5mm, with a 10 mm possibilty depending on drop and load.

if u want the staggered look, u should get staggered rims in the 1st place!
i got 235/35/19 front, 275/30/19 rear. is bigger better? i think the standard is 265/30/19 for rear.. but i got 275/30/19 rear..

netboy,
275's? What tire are you using? Are you running 9 1/2's in the rear? If so, what offset did you get?

It ain't gonna look right. The rears will look like balloons with the same width rims all around. Use the same size tires at all corners so you can rotate them
