They are all streched tyres but what is it like with proper tyres on the rims?
I plan to run as wide as tyres as possible.

well maybe then the 18x8.5 g force running 245.40.18s to get maximum tyreage as 245s on 9j rims will need arch rolling

they do a nice wheel called the gravel in this size also

What will be the best offset for grid drift on a 53reg sti ? Without arch rolling on lowered car? The bugeye on the first page with the grid looks sexy. What offset is it?

Price aswell pls on gun metal grid drift thx.

That'll be mine. The offset is ET38 all round with a 5mm spacer on the front to clear the Brembos thus making it ET33

Yep for 18's. Regardless of the wheel size it's the offset that'll determine a spacer or not. How hard to get hold of what? Spacers or wheels?

I am talking about the spacer sorry. What is the handling like with a offset running so wide?

There's plenty of spacers out there so you won't have any issues. As for handling there's a stack of topical debates from posts in the members gallery. See both myself and inthoughtwelive
