whoa, +23 is NOT a good idea.

take a look at the "will it fit" thread.

those sizes will fit. you're good to go.

run 225/40R18 up front and 255/35R18 in the rear. you may need to fender roll, but that all depends on how low you will drop the car later on. lowering will bring the camber in so you maybe able to avoid fender modification. those are great looking wheels btw.

Dan knows his ****. I'm starting to dig the slightly stretched look as well and would like to go to with a lower offset one day as well.

^^ what?! No more wheels for YOU. You can't buy another set of wheels before I do. Besides, we both know what mod(s) you need to do first.

those will fit pretty easily. You can probably fit up to a 18x10.5 +15 all around with 255's... or even more aggressive if you aren't a *****. And when I say "fit", I really mean tuck tire.

Stretch FTW! a slight stretch and poke actually looks pretty nice, over the edge stretch is pretty homo.

PS: Razz dont talk about rice, with chrome wheels on an 8 J/K.

a slight stretch means your tire width being approximately your rim width.

exceeding that, you will be in stretched out territory. Rice-A-Roni. Though you can just get chrome rims and i'll still think of you the same way.

my rears right now are 19x9.5 +34 but with a 3 mm spacer that brings it to +31 along with 275/30 in the rear. Fender trimming or rolling is definetly needed if you plan on lowering your ride, also if you plan on having passengers ride in the car with you.

Not saying you can fit it, just that it's possible.
