That would be a valid point if we were trying to make a race car. 90% of wheel stances now are simply for looks, if your running that large of wheel you already said performance is not a factor. Drag and race cars do not run large wheels and small tires, its for looks. Larger tire equalls more traction, yes, but your trying to argue a mute point to this type of car folks.

Also staggered FWD wheels look horrible in my opinion, though I have not seen the mentioned members car.

Sedan/Koup: Sedan EX
Wheel Make: Ruff
Wheel Model: R395 (Hyper Black)
Wheel Size: 17 X 7.5
Tire Make: Nexxen
Tire Model: N3000
Tire Size: 215/45/17
Suspension Modification: None (yet)

Really like my wheel/tire package. I feel no deviation from the stock wheels in regards to wheel vibration or noise. Tires are actually very quiet. Only a slight gain in road noise but not enough to cause any distractions. I can't complain. *Wheels are also For sale in the Sedan section of the forum.*

Anyone tried a 18x8 with offset 20 ? I know they will not fit properly but with a litlle bit of camber, it should be ok ?

It's so surprising that there are constantly 60+ people viewing this forum section at one time, and this only had 4 pages of posts. Gotta keep this updated kids! Wish I had wheels to post.

It will stick out 1.5" further out than stock.

Get a measuring tape and you can pretty much figure out the fit.

A correct tire size would be 235/35-18.

How did you calculated this ?
It's going to be easier to know it than always asking on the forum ! hahah

+20 offset, what you guy think about this? I'll be running them on coilover with camber plate in front
