im a noob with rims help!
My car is considered "stanced" I posted some pictures below of how my car sits. My wheels are 18x9.5 +27 with 10mm spacers in the front and 15mm in the rear. Tires are 245/35/18. Be sure to roll your fenders and with wheels, keep in mind you pay for what you get. Not disrespecting Rotas but I've seen a lot crack due to the quality of their wheels. Best of luck

So ive changed my mind. Im going to go with 17x8 G-Forces with a +35 offset. Im going to run some kind of spacers. Reason being i cant amount the getting a bigger rim they are heavier then factory spec wheels cause you to go slower.
If you want lighter then RPF1's are great bang for buck... I think the 18's would still be lighter than the OEM 17" enkei's. Buying 17x8 +35 rotas seems like a step back; same-sized wheels with only a 3mm difference in offset and lower build quality... might as well just stick some spacers on whatever wheels you have now.
