I'd say pick them up and add spacers as needed

Look here to see previous fitment setups

add 25mm all around and roll the front ( provided that they're currently +38 all around ) and you'll be good to go with a presentable fitment.

if you want less issues just add 20mm to the front and 25mm to the rear and roll the rear with a pipe/bat. i am running +11 in the rear with practically no issues. AND i have a fat tire. i have +13 up front and i rolled rather extensively. so just roll or cut a little and you should be ablle to fit +18 easy in the front.

did that make any sense?

Very low miles.
If it's been serviced at the dealer, jump on it.

yeah i mean the interior was just sick and flawless...the OG owner told me that i was his baby..so the back seats were never used
as far as the gas meter, does anybody know how or where do get that fixed and is this a common problem as the owner told me it was?
