This is all I could find with negative offsets...

18x9-3 & 18x10.5-19

Sorry, couldn't find anything in those sizes with stock fenders at Rimtuck.com. But their Z33 section at Rimtuck may have what you're looking for. Go check it out...

thanks man, it seems that lip size is all based on wheel construction which just makes it even harder to find the right wheels.

Yes and no.

As odd as it may sounds XXR (I know cheap crap) offers some wheels in the same width/offset, but as Front or rear to give the FWD guys a staggered look with a larger rear wheel lip.

I've seen wheels that are 18x10+35 in different styles that still have nice sized lips or concave faces. Whereas other wheels would be flat faced at the same offset.

I guess it just comes down to the design of the wheel rather than it's actual specs.

which is kind of annoying because i have a few ideas of wheels i want to get but i cant find pics of the exact size and offset i want to determine which wheel to go with they just have generic pics of one size or just random google pics that dont give sizes and offsets. its almost like you have to buy the wheels just to see what they'll look like on your car... but wheel tucked website was a big help but still... wheel manufacturers should just post pics of each size and offset so people can see what they look like

Man, I know what you mean... Back when I was looking into getting P45R's, no one knew if the better fitting, higher offset wheels were still concave or not. It took one brave soul to actually go out, buy them and post pics. It sucks that it's that way...

But, if the wheels you are looking for are Rotas, Wheeldude.com actually has pics of every size that they carry. It's very useful!

But odds are, you're not looking for Rotas...

Simmode1, I feel like I'm constantly picking at your posts lately. LOL. But are you sure that white car has 18x10+2 in the rear? Maybe +22.?The reason I question is because this is my 18x10 +18. And this required a 3/4" pull on the rear and they still will barely tuck in when the suspension compresses. Almost no rear camber either.

It's no biggie man! Those ar the stats the guy has listed for his setup on rimtuck.com. I just copy & pasted it.

Maybe it is a +22 wheel with 20mm spacers?

Edit: You know what?! That guy is tricky! He has two setups listed for that same car with the same wheels! The pics postd above are the ones h lists as 17x10+5 & 18x10+2

But here are other pics he lists as 17x10+5 and 18x10+14...

Looks like he slapped on a 12mm spacer and reduced his tire size from a 225 down to a 215. Good eye, Darius!

WaiT wait wait... A 215 ON A 10 INCH WHEEL?!

Ahhh good eye! I can believe +14 with slight camber with the pull he has. But 215 tires? No way! Those look like the 265/35 Falkens I had on there last year, which had a good stretch on them. The weird thing is that my MT DRs are 265/40s and they're way wider and have a lot more side wall than the Falken street tires. I thought they would have been more similar, but they're very different.
