It's identical to stock except you're an inch smaller in diameter. I wouldn't recommend going that size only because I don't think it will look good. If you're using them for auto-x, then I guess it would be okay as long as they were light.

Thanks bro, 17 x 8 +35 is a great route to go!

Without a drop a 235/40/17 won't be a problem at all.

With a drop, that's a different story

Will 18 by 8 +35 OR 18 by 8 +30 offset sit more flush or would it be more flush with the fenders with 18 by 8.5 +30 or +35 ?

Those rears are scary.. fronts are too. You're going to have to SUPER stretch /camber / roll to get those to work. I dont think it would be worth it unless they're uber baller wheels.

18x8.5 +35 might be pretty sick with some 225 tires although they will probably add some weight for not much benefit.. how about 18x8+35?

It'll work but will require different things depending on your drop.

What offset and width 18 would sit the most flush? Reason im asking is i want mad lip on all 4 wheels but dont want the wheels to look like i took them off a suv and tried to stick them on my sedan haha I want a clean aggresive look, lot of lip.

PS.. Mad props on your car

Lets see some pictures.

I have a hard time believing you are "slightly cambered" with that setup, even if you are running 225's.

Thanks bro. What wheel are we talking about now? Different wheels accomplish different looks.

8.5 should be fine they're just a little heavy haha. I think the 225/40's would look nicer on them though because of the stretch.. id probably go for that.
