Looks good guys, but I'm bored with the 5-spoke rims... That's what i have now, in 16"'s, which i want to get rid of.
EDIT: What tires do you guys have on these? 235/55r18?

Finally!
Got the Vision Shattered Chrome Wheels 5x4.5 5x114.3 +18, they fit w/o spacers, and got Cooper CS5 Ultra 235/55R18 put on, it looks sick!

I had the same problem. Though my installer was not TR, but a well respected small chain here in New England. The inside of the tire rubbed the shock. I did not want to install spacers so I ended up selling the wheels.

I really wanted the Helo HE874, but these are not manufactured anymore in a +21mm offset. They are only making a +42mm offset, and the rears rub the struts.
The wife liked them, and I think they look great. As I said, got sick of the 5-spoke original wheels...
The handling now is so much improved, night and day compared to the 16" OEM. Obvisouly, a little stiffer ride, but negligible as far as I'm concerned.
