I personally like the 17x9.5 +18.. maybe because I'm biased and own some lol
I think it looks very very aggressive, Kinda like an evo on steroids

I had to barely roll my rear fenders.. that was simple enough, no rubbing issues at all.

No spacers in the front right? Doesnt it stick out too much? and doesnt the rear need some extensive fender work with a +18 offset?
Got any pics? maybe you'll make me change my mind again lol

Correct, No spacers for the front. It sticks out a hair, not anything serious tho. Define extensive? Just heat the rear fenders and use a roller, problem solved. I don't think its that difficult?

These are the only pics that I have in my photobucket

So 18s are not out of the picture...good to know

So no work in the fronts? And no camber adjustment right? Just rear fender work and that's it?

18 x 9.5 +35 is what I'll possibly be running with 275 35 direzza z1's . I believe all you need for that setup is fender roll possibly. ( not sure with which suspension set up that is ) but seen someone running those on here if you search you might be able to find it. I believe it was a thread about fender rolling / aggressive wheels maybe. Good luck.
