I will be purchasing wheels tommorow and I have alot to pick from. I want 18's that fit perfectly in my wheelwell and dont stick out on the sides. If anyone with 18's that are flush and fit nicely could post your measurements/width and all that good stuff it would be greatly appreciated. Thx

I've got 18"x7.5" Zeo BZ-12's w/+42 offset and 225/40 Yokohama Parada Spec 2 tires. They line up great, but since I'm dropped 1.8" in the rear, I get occaisional fender rub. If you plan on dropping or are dropped already, stay as close to the stock +46mm offset as possible and you will be fine. Even a 8" wide rim is cutting it close, so try to stick with 7.5".

you guys are all so helpful but maybe you can answer this....I have 18x8 inch verdicts and havent put springs on my car yet, would you recomend a less subtle drop like the pro kit or what? btw cost isnt the issue.

I have 18's with the Progress drop (2.0 Front and 1.8 back) I think if you drop the back 2+ or more your asking for trouble if you have 18's and you will defiently have to get a camber kit for real.......

Bgr, rims look hot! I remember you mentioning something about them to me. How do you like them compared to the RH? Also that price is unbeatable, 18s for 980 w/tires shipped? Very nice! I like them a lot.

Reelax, I liked your rims also, what kind are they?
