Should work fine. Just run 215/45 might need to roll your fender a little. I'm running 18x9.75 +20 all around on 215 40 with just rolled fender.

if it's fully stock then it'll look pretty stupid imho...

the entire idea of stancing the car out is to have it both Low AND Flush...
not either/or....

Yes I know. I'm just buying the rims first n then next month ordering the coilovers.. being a college kid I csn only buy parts once a month.. n a good sell on the rims came up but they only make them in 17x8.5 +15.... so I juat wanted to see if I could run those rims on the car. Next month I can get coilovers then put everytonng on ....

The truth is that this is a very aggressive offset for this car. There's probably only a couple of people on this forum running an offset that aggressive. The stock offset is +50 & you want to go +15, that's a 35mm difference!! IMO, whenever you go more than 10mm more aggressive, you're gonna require modification. Just to give you an idea, these are my specs... 18x9 +35 all around with 225/40 tires with a 1 degree of camber and I still rub, I'm gonna roll the fenders. And I only went 15mm more aggressive, but I have almost no stretch on the tires. You would probably have to run like 205 or 215/40 tires with for sure a fender roll and pull, at least a couple degrees of camber and a very stiff suspension. It's not gonna be cheap to get em to fit good, but if you pull it off it will look sick!!

im having fitment concerns as well. can you help me out? i want a stretched tire look so i was going to run a 18 x 10 with a 235/40/18 tire. im not worried about rolling and pulling the fenders. i just want a wide stance with a stretched tire.
