I think the best setup is an 18x8 all around with about 35mm offset.

I think 8 is a little narrow. Depends on the tire you are planning to run. Start there and back-in to the correct wheel size.

I love my setup with 350z wheels, see my sig. for size and offsets. Look at my gallery or at my cardomain page for some better pics. Of course I have 17's but I don't think 18's will change much.

You can still fit a 245-45-18 on there just fine

ok so i got a killer deal on ruff racing 18 x 8.5 40mm offset at $ 380.00 a set plus freight. They are a 6 spoke with polished lip.

I know how to search but i like to get actual opinions not just read what other wrote previously. What about 8.5 and 9.5 x 18's.......

thanks

Well, if you had read the previous posts, you would know that if the offset is +40mm, they will fit. Weight, strength. hubcentric or metal hub sizing ring?

Knowing how but not doing is just plain lazy.

Widest tire and lowest aspect ratio tire for that wheel width. Would be better with 8.5" - 9".

That's what I have... and they are forged and light!
