Default Wheel Fittings

Thinking about getting some rims but I am concerned with how many tires I would have to go through. I do not want to end up with a negative camber and go through new sets of tires every month. Here are the ones I am looking at:

Fronts: 18x8.5 offset thirty something
Rears: 18x9.5 offset thirty something

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

You won't hit neg camber unless you lower but can be fixed to a certain point with an alignment
Weak offsets, you will be sunk with those offsets unless thats what you are going for.

Check out the wheel fitment thread.

Those will fit pretty well, and you shouldn't have to run a lot of camber if you roll your fenders.

Well my car is lowered. Running on espilirs. Well, at first I was thinking about getting an offset of 20, which I think would look good. I just wanted to see your opinions.

+35 all-around with those wheel widths should be fine on stock body, shouldn't have any need to roll or cut fenders.

Does anyone know if I would be okay with 18x9.5 all around with an offset of 17? I want my tires to last more than a year
