alright so I've done some searching and still haven't really found what I'm looking for. I guess i want some opinions more then answers. Ive deff narrowed it down to what rim i want, just not sure what size. Im deff getting MB battles but not sure what size
-17x9 with 30offset
-17x9.5 with 15offset
-18x8 with 30 offset
-18x8 with 43 offset
-18x9 with 30 offset
-18x9.5 with 15 offset

I have a 96 with straight lowering springs and don't plan on going coil overs or brake conversions as its my DD.
But I'm deff not trying to roll or any modifications if i don't have too. Plus I'm really trying to run same size all around for rotating issues. is it even possible to run 18s with rolling and not have tire rub. thanks for help.

Gonna be hard because of the front struts.
Wide wheels will hit, high offsets will hit.
17x9+30 will be a good size, but for front strut clearance you may need to use a 5mm slip on spacer.

I ran 7+2 in the front. A 9+30 is 3mm more shallow so you should still be ok running a 5mm spacer up front if needed.

Here's what my old setup look like:

That's a huge range of sizes in between lol.
I personally would go for a 235 or 245/40.
If you want real meaty 255/40.

It's a decent height and width IMO.
235/45 can get/look pretty bulky. Depends on the tire.
235 is a very slight stretch on a 9 while a 245 is more square.
Again all personal pref.
Right now I have 235/45's on a 8 and its a bit tall but nothing crazy.

thank again, think I'm gonna wend up going 235/45 nittos, found decent deal on them. been staring at nicclub fitment forum for hours seeing what everything looks like. the 235/45 don't look to bulky but not rubber band status either.
