offset? Not likely to work. A staggered setup like that is really for rwd

18x8 +35 will fit no problem as long as the tire size stays under 40series. to fit 9.5......dunno why you would, it makes no sense......you'd need a +20 but then you have to run 235/40 series to clear the fender even with camber and rolled fenders.
IMHO just do 18x8 +35 all around and get 10mm spacers for the rear. At least this way you still can rotate tires

If your Celi is lowered it could be a problem though. You should do some measuring to be sure there's space enough for the wheels. |
