i tried 17's with 205/40/17 tires on the other day and they looked like crap. they are to small and the wheel well gap is huge. i am not a fan of big wheels usually but these actually look alright

Too big for the car, the rubber looks so thin it looks odd.

i think it looks good. it's amazing how much wheel the GE8 can swallow. i think 16's look big on a gd3, and 17's are huge. and your running 18s!

Nevermind the haters- looks good. I agree the GE8 can pull it off, with the right wheels.

I dunno, not my thing. I think they may look better persay on a white ge but just not feeling it.

but hell i was gonna do 17 and I knew my ssr in 17 would work but i went 16 for tire weight and wheel weight. 18 is killer even if you spend 5000$ on wheels to stay light.

As long as you like it is all that matters

GE8 is your car lowered? The gap between the tire and fender look just right.

lol i know. 18's arent for everyone and usually arent for me but hell why not try them. i have had 4 sets of wheels on the fit in the 4 months i have owned it so far(2 sets of 16's, 1 set of 17's, and now 18's) and i gurantee this isnt my last set. i get bored alot and need to switch stuff up or i will want to sell the car lol.

Also my car is lowered on DF210's and has a little help in the rear from my sub box.

Why not post pictures of your car with the different wheels you have. It will be interesting to see a comparison between 16", 17" & now 18" wheels!
