Default wheel fitment help??

i want to get a new set of wheels, but not usre if its gonna fit. my is300 is stock right now so no mods and oem height.
first set is 18x9 with +35 offset all around(all 4 wheels not staggered)
second set is 17x9 with +35 offset (not staggered)
and last set is staggered 17x9 front and 17x10 both +25 offset
which would fit, and would look better for stock height.
was thinking about lowering it but still deciding.

regular flush?
1 No
2 No
3 No

regular flush = 18x8 +35

Hey just to let you know fender work isnt hard, It costs about $50 a side and wouldnt hurt anything. Also Baadhabits not kidding about these cars looking like str8 crap with no drop and new wheels, just look how mine looked.

so wat your saying is that its gonna rub??
im thinking about dropping it but just short on budget right not. so rims first then i can drop later
i saw a 17 dropped and i like it but the set that i want to get is too wide it think. it might rub the fenders even with it rolled.

All of the specs you listed above will look hella goofy on stock height. Too aggressive.

Drop before wheels. Always.

And like Ray said, none of those will fit normal without modded fenders or stretched tires.
