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

45 would be too much and you'll have to worry about rubbing. 35-40 is perfect!

Hahaha you do?! Yeah my IG username is the same as the one on here just with two mm's at the front

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.

IMO it's worth the extra coin for the quality of enkei vs rota.
