    18X7.5 must be 45mm offset and must be run with 215/35-18, no other tire 18" tire size will work. Nothing bigger will fit without body work and possibly creating new fender wells.

    Your very welcome. When I first started out I hated not knowing this and that about my car. And I hated when I bought stuff and then found out I wasted my money. I've been doing allot of research on things and learned from my own experience. I know what it feels like to not be able to get the right information. I'm here to not let that happen to anyone I can.

    Ya 18's no problem
    17" or 18"s your gonna have to roll back that lip in the back for it not to rub. I have 17x7 on 205/40 and I have rubbin problems in the back and I have already rolled the lip back almost as much as I can. ......but ya can definetly fit 18, but I wouldn't say no problem, Just my 2 cents

    I had 18x7 with +47 offset and 215/35/18 tires with absolutely zero rubbing problems and I never had to roll my fenders.
    I tried 19s on my car once. They fit but they were very close to touching the suspension. A slight notch in the arm that goes up to the upper control arm would solve that problem though.

    chris did you try them on both front and rear? And what size was the tire?

    The rims were either Konig Tantrums or copies of them and I did try them on the front and rear. The tires were 215/35/19's.
    I would have had to raise my car a little because the top of the tire was hitting the top of the fenderwell when I let it down. Same thing with the 18s though. That is the problem with having big wheels on a slammed car.
