I'm looking at buying some 18x7.5 with 45 offset. I'm just hoping they fit on my car without any rubbing...

Thats what I was looking for was 18x7 in the front and 18x9 in the rear, but been looking at all the pictures on here and noticeing that the biggest rim I have seen has been like a 17 or 16 so was wondering if anyone had any suggestion on rim size, cause I do not have any problem get a 16 or 17in rim, plus the car looks so sick when it is so low. My idea was to get rims then the suspension and the same time since my suspension does not come in till next month have a little time to shop around.

If you get the 18x9, let me know, I'd like to make sure they fit alright.

well if you want to look sick and be low as hell ...stick with the 16" rim

its really hard to be low with 17" rims. unless you have a body kit like toyotalover...then good luck. with the stock sport lip kit, thats not even low enough. but it looks good though, but my dream was always to be low. when i slap on some 15" rims...my car gets LOW.... but then raises 2 fingers when i put the 17" rims back on

Well thast's the thing was thinking 16" at first and then was like 17" should look tight and I can get a sweet lo-pro tire also, I am gonna replace the stock lip kit with eaither a mugen kit or noblesse kit those are the 2 kits I like the most. Do you have pics of your car with the 17's like a side pic so I can see what it looks like, this could help. Thanks

15's vs. 16's rims w/ lips

I was wondering, what size rims would look nice on a lowered fit, 15's or 16's. A fit on 15's looks like a toy(which is sick), but what about the 16's. The 16's will make the car more fuller, but will it drive away the look of a toy. CAN ANYONE POST PICS OF EITHER 15'S OR 16'S ON A LOWERED FIT(rims with lips most preferred)?

personaly i like the 15x6.5 just because;
a. you can find a light weight good looking rim for pretty cheap
(konig helium +/-11lbs for +/-90$)
b. lots of fit racers in japan, china, etc.. use the 15 rapped in a 195X50
(insted of the 195X55)
c. Any dealership, manufacturer or insurence compagny can't say sh"@t because it's a std rim size the manufac. offers and you can easily prove the overkill performance
(i've already had this problem , had to justify the rim and won the argument)
d. finally it all depends on what your gonna do with it. I wante dlight weight and good width and the 15x6.5 was perfect for me!
