Still the best looking wheels in this thread. And with the lower offset.

have a little faith. they will fit. and its guna look sexy.

shokis are 18x12 -27 r 18x10 -5 front
equip are 18x12 -7 r 18x10 +5 f
cerberus 18x12.5 unknown offset (only have rears) similar to the equips though

id actually like some input on what size of tire to run for a grip setup .

For a grip:

10s should have 285/35

12-12.5s should have 305/30, but you won't have a lot of tires to choose from. 315/30s will have more selection.

For a grip setup, I would get different wheels. That kind of stagger in widths and tires sizes is just asking for understeer, not to mention the larger track width in the back due to the much lower offset.

I'm all about fitting sweet wheels, and you should do flares because I want to see how it will look, but if you really want to do stuff with the car, put a little more thought into your wheel/tire setup. And unless you're making a ton of power that would need 315+ just for longitudinal traction and adjusting your suspension design around you tire choice and wheel selection, I would take a look at the bigger picture before you tear apart your body to fit big wheels that will make the car handle like crap.

im all about the extreme look really flashy and what not. clean though.

this car will be flared. its not a grip car anyways its a slip car. lol

my power goals this year are just over 400whp
next year aim for 6 - 750whp

im not really building this car to win any championships or anything. i just love the car.

its more to be baller and fun to cruise in, and hit the drift track weekly

So it's a drift car. Even with that, it's still welcome to understeer city.

Unless you're stretching 245s or 255s on those 12s and can steer with the throttle and don't like man entries or going super fast.

I'm not saying it wouldn't look cool for cruising around and bs like that. But pushing the car, it's probably going to suck.

The wheels in those sizes were cheap for a reason.

My humble opinion is that the rear looks to be a good fit, semi aggressive :)

The front looks really narrow, the fender is casting a shadow on the wheel spokes, perhaps more tire or a wheel spacer would help in the overall look.

And more lower. Now. Like srsly.

Your front looks like it has positive camber too

Yep I have spacers, shocks, springs all ready for install. Should be soon. Fronts look real good in person, I'm very happy with the fitment and the look.
