    FYI on 18's. They require 2 things 45mm offset and 215/35 tire size.

    why the 215 Jim?? Wouldnt you want a thinner tire to keep it away from the finder lip??? I thought that was also why you went with 45mm??

    Well they don't make a 205 in 18" or a 30 aspect ratio. I'm emphisizing(ms) what the guys that have 18's use to not have problems. I'm sure it is much more common to see 45mm offset's in 18", then it is to see it in the smaller rim sizes. Frankly the only place I've seen 45mm offsets (I never have looked for 18") has been on stock honda/acura factory alloys. Doesn't mean they aren't made, I've just never found them.

    I edited the above post to correctly reflect what I have been teling him and anyone else. I just got done Pm'ing one of the member's that is running 18's he has confirmed to me that you cannot run 18's with less than 45mm offset. And he's going to either send me pics or post them for us all

    Heres a pic of 18 inch rims and a 2 inch drop. The quality of the pic is shitty but you get the idea.
