The odds are stacked against you.. Get 17x7 to be more safe. I had 18s the ride is harsh if you run over a skittle you be able to feel the color...

18s give you almost no sidewall on our cars. 17x7 +40 offset is great set-up for our cars. 215/40/17 is a great tire size. Speedometer adjustment is less than 1% with this size so that's a big win.

Also do yourself a favor and buy something lightweight. Those wheels looks as heavy as Lucifer's sin.
Speedy Wheels have been getting a solid reputation, I personally am a fan of the Speedy Lite-Fin.

you think we work during the day, we spend all our time talking smack on the forums. These witty comments take time to prepare.
