staggered wheels
^ I had the same setup, assuming the +18 F is a +38 with a 20mm spacer.
If not, you would have to dismount the tires to rotate them every time, instead of just the wheels, which is a waste of time, money, and unless you're really into spending a lot of both, usually tread as well, just to run staggered setups that can't be rotated front and rear.
That's always been what I don't understand about running staggered offsets on AWD. Why make rotating so much more complicated for just a few mm of offset? I'd rather be racing and easily swapping wheels to rotate than at the wheel machine/shop, or just wasting tread. Really doesn't make sense, but that's just me,

No spacer, i went with this set up cause the rpf1's are on back order for almost 3 months for SBC. Robispec sells these set ups and had the 1 set left. I wanted to 17x9.5 +18 all around but i didn't want my car on jack stands for 3 months.
The +18 fits the front perfectly. I miss that setup. Sometimes I wished I had just done that all around as well. +18 rear probably would have required a roll for a 245.
Back on staggered offsets in general, running slightly wider front track can help with initial turn-in response. That's the only real benefit I see from staggered (reverse staggered offset) wheels.
Back to the OP, we still don't even know if he was asking about offsets of width.
