Can someone Comment Please?

:: Complete Edit :::

After doing some research:

Stock Rims = 15 x 6 @ 40 mm

New Front Rims = 18 x 8.5 @ 25 mmNew Rear Rims = 18 x 10 @ 15 mm

My Calculations:

Front: Wheel will be 17mm (.67 in.) closer to the Strut Housing and extend 47mm (1.85 in.) further. Result with 20mm Fender Overs is an extra 27mm (1.05 in.). I think this will clear and be pretty flush to the fender.

Rear: Wheel will be 26mm (1.02 in.) closer to the Strut Housing and extend 76 mm (2.99 in.) further. Result with 50mm Fender Overs is an extra 26 mm (1.02 in.). I think this would be real close to the inside strut housing but be pretty flush with fender. (This Could be Close)

try a 17x8(or 8.5) with a 20mm(or 15mm) offset in the front and a 17x9 or 10" in a 25mm or 27mm offset rear.

just for looks..I guess weirhgt of an 18" inst an issue...

I know Chet, I have read your posts, but for the most part, this will be show only. The rims that I like does have a 17 x 8 with a 22mm Offset and 17 x9 with a 25mm Offset, I'd assume that this would be close enough.

I can tell you right now it will scrub coilovers... you will need a 5mm spacer at least. I suggest a 10mm spacer.

Or get a better offset... +20 or better would work.

(and we know my position on spacers... and Chet your opinion doesn't count :D )

Unfortunately for the front 22mm is the max for the rim i like. I might have to go with a spacer, be nice not to have to go that route. Any opinions on what brand of spacer to get?
