My gf drives my car from time to time and oyu know how they handle them hmmm, i thinking about putting 18's and lowering the car abit, do i need any spacers? or R disk? if anyone selling a set of 18's or know where to get them for a deal that would be much appreciated . thank you a million everyone... will post some pics when i have them installed lol..

You can run 18x8/9 +50 with 225/40 & 255/35 tires. I don't know what look you're going for, but the wheels be sunk. With those sizes, remolding the front fender liner might be all you need to do.

(R) disk for the front to clear the calipers.. (0) disk won't clear.
That's how it is for my 19's anyways, don't know how it is for 18"s but I'm assuming it's the same.

I have A disc in front, but my wheels are 18x8 +38. kraze8 on my.IS is selling his set with the same specs. I don't know if he has A or R disc in front. Here's a link to pics of his car. http://gallery.me.com/aidenaaron#100...&bgcolor=black
