Oh wait I totally forgot that when I made the suggestion......not. You know what advice givers hate? When you try to give them advice. That's super ******* unaggressive.

Because my suggestion of it all around means it won't rub. I would say don't forget to get your fenders rolled or something if it would. It's nearly impossible to rub at stock height anyway.

I have a set of Enkei A&L Racing 18x7 rims from a past car. Looks like they may fit. Just confirming with every one here before swapping tires and seeing.

18x7

35 offset.

Has 225/40-18 on now. So, stock sizes with a slightly higher sidewall should be fine. Plus, I have them already. Why let them go to waste. Just need to put new rubber on them. The RT-615's are about shot on them now.

Do stock height and stock 18x8 rims look good with 10mm spacers? Can't find a pic currently >…<

Pretty sure you can't put 10mm bolt on spacers with the stock wheels. 25mm spacers is what is recommended when lowered and shouldn't require a fender roll. edit: put 245/40/18 instead of stock tire sizes if you haven't seen that already.
