    Ugh RPF1's look terrible. Since I am so nice I am willing to give you my stockers for them to get your car looking good again. No questions asked.
    [doublepost=1458777591][/doublepost]Evo 8 MR BBS wheels. 17 x 8 with 38 mm offset. Eibach springs. Had CS springs but the rears rubbed if anyone sat in the back and I am not about that rolled fender life (235/45).

    No way! Car looks perfect as is. Maybe if I want to get larger tires but no reason to now.

    The most important question is, will rolling your fenders let the wheel roll out of the well more elegantly when you forget to tighten the lugs?

    tapatalk, it sucks

    I need some new wheels. I've grown tired of the stockers. I just bought new 225/40/18 tires so I'd like to be able to use them but I also would like the option of running bigger tires next time. So I have 2 questions...

    1) There is a billion wheel companies out there. What's some good quality manufacturers out there that won't break the bank? A good middle of the road brand.

    2) What is the widest wheel I could put 225s on and not be overstretched? I'm currently on swift springs and stock shocks/struts. I do not mind rolling my fenders..

    Personally, the widest wheel I'd run with a 225/40/18 would be a 18x8. With that size wheel you'd have the option of moving up to a 235/40.

    That's what I was leaning towards. Only problem is that the ones I like are only made in 18x8.75. Guess I'll either have to pay out for new tires too or find a different set.

    @Porterhouse07 I would recommend Evo wheels. I got mine for $400 with snow tires on them off craigslist in Denver. My dad has 225/40R18 on 18x8.5 and that is more stretch than I would like. I will have to take some pics of it to post.

    @MR2Speed

    You don't have rubbing issues in the rear? My gen 1 has serious rear end sag, and my shit rubs way too much and I'm only running 18x7.5 +35 offset with camber adjustment and fender roll.
