if you got 18's it would make the gap from the wheel to the wheel well a lil smaller...most people run 17 and 18

Offset determines how far they stick off the hub.. so in and out...

I ran that size on my tc when it was stock... Loved it and it sat perfect with the edge of the car!

Uh - be careful with that offset unless you have narrow tires (225 at most). You'll most likely rub if you go pushed out more or wider with the tires. EddNog ran 18x8.5 +35 and rubbed like crazy. I'd recommend an 18x8 +40 offset wheel. I ran 17x7 +35 offset with 225 tires and it was perfect.

i run 18x8 and 225/40 tires with a 40mm offset and a drop, and have no rubbing issues whatsoever.

I never rubbed when the car was at a s0tech drop... when I took the coilovers and spun em all the way down yes I rubbed but very little.

I eneded up removing the splash guards cuz when racing it I would rub on the auto course.
