Thanks for the input... I decide to not go with these rims. I really want to get some 5 spokes like Aipex8s... what size and offset do you recommend for stock suspension. Wanna stay 18" if at all possible but go wider.

I've seen Aipex8's wheels in person and they are hot! I'm sure he will chime in with size and offset.

Ah I just checked JIC's website and you can get them 18x9.5 +38. You can run anywhere from 245-265. Perfect!

I believe Fluid Motorsports sells them. Send him a PM to see what he can do for you.

I've got 18x8.5 +38 with 245/40s. They run about $300 a wheel. Fluid had them on sale for around $200 a wheel a couple of months ago if you've got a time machine.

That's not a nice thing to say. He didn't make fun of you for looking like a stoned porcupine in your signature

Thanks for that personal attack there real nice. Yes I realize the rims say "sparkle" I just thought some people were mature enough and secure enough in their sexuality to look past that.

I just got myself these:

18x8.5 38mm offset - $1040 including shipping, lugnuts stems and hubrings.

as far as offset you want something between 35 and 50 - the higher the offset the deeper the wheel sits in the fender, 35 ofset sticks out ever so slightly in the front.

Thanks anton those are some hot rims. I kinda want rims where the spokes sit flush with the lip and are concave in towards the center if you get what I'm saying.
