I'm about to order 18 x 8 Nogaros for the front of my car and 18 x 9 for the rear. I will be putting 245's on front and 275's on rear. My question is...what backspacing do I need?

I know the stock is 38mm. Nogaro's only come in 40mm which I think brings the wheel closer to the strut? 35 mm would be ideal but it doesn't look like the Nogaro comes in 35mm?

Let me know what you guys did.

Thanks

actually, stock is 48 offset...so a 40 will take the wheel outboard by 8mm = .32"

40 is good for the front....

48-52 is good for the rear

I have 18x8/ 40 front and 18x9/ 45 rear. The tires are 245 and 275. I added 5/16 springs so there isn't an issue with clearance.

I really dont recommend these rims. The chrome is garbage on them. I washed my car on the regular and eventually I started noticing a little bit of corrosion and then it just got worse from there. They look great, but the quality is crap. Sorry if you got them... keep them super clean and garage kept.
