its possible, but youll need air suspension (if you dont wanna burn through tires every few months) and adjustable control arms or modified stock control arms and crazy small tires
if you want a full size, or slightly stretched tire, and full contact patch - youll need the vertex/bn sports widebody

those 11s will stick out 20mm farther than my 10s, and those 13s will stick out 50mm farther than my 12s. you COULD go without a widebody, but it would look, perform, and be much less of a headache to go with one
alternatively, you could go with vertex fenders up front with quite a bit of negative camber, and a big 75mm flare in the back (also use a lot of neg camber) and it would work for that wheel setup

yeah I was sitting at my desk thinking today that those are more of the thousand horse power widebody track car wheels. I would only use them if my car was more of a show-espue car I think I'll go with the ssr's I origninally posted up and I'll use some spacers to get where I want to be

It would take some researching to find the proper specs, but it just might be able to be done.
Key information to find:
- the most sunk set up that does not contact the suspension to maximize back spacing
- the offset required to fit a 13" wide wheel with the same inner clearance.
- the tire width capable of clearing the fender with such an offset.
Something like a 285 on a 13" at a +20 offset with a decent fender pull might just be possible...just throwing that out there.
Clearly, spacing those SSR's would be cheap, easy, and still amazing looking. But, you might just be able to whip up something transcendental with a little research and commitment.

yeah I have a couple weeks before the check I am buying the wheels with get here. The nice thing is that around here Sportmax 952's would make people drool. SO even if I do puss out and get the ssr's I will still be a god around here. I do plan on looking for something with a 7 inch lip though and a +20ish offset. I'll stay in positive offsets though. It'd be nice to find an ssr or works euroline to run. I kinda feel the fuller face VIP-esque wheels are what my car needs maybe just in a retarded color to make no sense but have them stand out....like blue or pink or green with rainbow sparkles

im about to be getting a set of 18x8.5 in the front with a +35 offset and 18x9.5 in the rear with a +35 offset agian.
what tires should i run?
i realise these will be tucking a in the fender and prolly wont need a roll. i will get the rims and then some spacers to make them flush and i want a slight stretched look on the tires. any advise?

they are 18x10 and 18x11 +24 and +28 offset respectively, tuck with a 275 tire, and a great wheel
i'm going to be changing them up, so if you want a cheaper price than from CCW directly, and no waiting period for manufacturing, pm me and ill give you a good price
here are more pics:
