You need to figure out your desired tire sizes before we can help you....

I'm not sure of the exact size, but I'd like to run a 10" wide in back and a 9" wide up front. Unless I can get these rims in a 10 in back, then I'll wanna run an 11" in back. Mostly my concern is whether staggering a set of rims makes sense, if it does, that'll leave me more options for what I think I'm tryiing to achieve

well those wheels are out, I guess they do only come in a 18x9, and are only 4.5" backspacing. Back to the drawing board.

Okay, well I have no options with a 1 peice wheel, so I went ahead and pulled the trigger on these http://www.introwheels.com/pages/w_e.../pentia6.shtml 18x8 front's with 5.25 bs and 18x10 rear with 7.25 bs. these should get me where I need to be, plus they look bad ***.

There's a saying, "Begin with the end in mind..." The reason I was asking about tires is that, although there is some latitude, many times tire size determines ideal wheel width. But it looks like you have it figured out, I guess.

anyway, did you talk to Bryan? if not, I would double check with him as to what MAX sizes you can fit on your application.

Yeah I ordered them from Bryan. He is giving me the tire sizes I need for those rims. I'm probably gonna run the Kuhmo's or Toyo's
