Fail, dont buy fwd offset wheels for your rwd car. At least if your going with a crappy rim like Konig, go with the XXR's and you will have at least a better stance. And why would you rim it up with stock suspension, will look terrible. Lower it first.

agreed. suspension makes the car IMO. i was fortunate enough to get fwd wheels with an OKAY offset. some people cant tell. most people can. i hate them. everytime i look at it. drive it. think about it. yuck... save up and do it right the first time man

you dont seem to understand.

you need to lower it FIRST.

a good bit. like, 3 inches.

then you can get some better sized wheels, think of maybe 8" and wider, +20 offset at the most.

there are some decently sized sportmaxes and s*** like that for pretty cheap. but theyre cheap heavy wheels that everyone buys because theyre broke.

lower it, THEN get proper fitting wheels. then youll be somewhat okay until you realize that you cheaped out on wheels.

Way too many...which rims should I buy? threads. This is not gonna be another. Search the threads, and the rim companies. XXR and Rota and others make decent cheap wheels. You will need to search, no spoonfeeding nessesary.
