Jenn wants some Advan RZ. Help :)
Incase you don't know, here's what the RZ look like:
According to the interwebs, the specs offered for 18" RZ are:
RZ front 18x8.5 +45*
RZ front 18x9.0 +35*/+45*
RZ rear 18x9.0 +25*/+35*
RZ rear 18x10.0 +35+
I want to use my stock tires, the ones that came on my X-Package wheels.
Here are those specs:
Front: 225/40/18, 18x8
Rear: 255/40/18, 18x8.5
So, initially, before seeing what Advan offers, I wanted 18x8.5 and 18x9.5. But then I rearized that Advan does not offer 18x9.5
Now I am thinking 18x9 and 18x10. But on the stock tires, will the 18x10 be too wide? And, more importantly, now that I daily drive this car, will it be safe?
If I go with 18x8 and 18x9, will that be too weak?
I was set on 18x9 and 18x10 but then Jason (projectdna) scared me by saying it would be too wide. So now I have to return to the batcave and do more research
Suggestions? Comments? Concerns I should know about? Please advise

Partially, yes I am going back to 18s so I can use my stock tires (I get free replacement tires, but only with the stock tires. So I figured, why use 19" PS2s which are super expensive, when I can just use the stock tires and have free replacements).
Also, having 19s raised my car off the ground a bit and I liked the lower ride height I had with my 18s. It was a subtle, but it still made a difference to me

i'm just saying... taking a tire made for a wheel with a maximum width of 9" and trying to stretch it for a 10" wheel is (imo) pushing it, especially since your 2is is a daily driver (get used to it, btw ). these are all reasons to "play it safe."
just go w/ 18x8 and 18x9, throw on some spacers, and it'll look alright.

If you want to reuse stock tires, then get the RZs in 18x8 and 18x8.5. These are the OEM wheel specifications. You could go for the RZs in 18x9 for the rear to give your car a slightly more aggressive stance. This will work by stretching the stock tires a little bit, nothing major to worry about.
BTW, the RZs are very sexy

Actually, 25mm may not even be enough for the front, here use this one to calculate the offset,

you need 30mm in the front, it's just too weak.....sorry lady.
