Wheel question

Im looking for new Wheels at the moment and I quite frankly know little to nothing about sizes and offsets. Here is my question, I like to go around sharp turns fast and drive the car daily I love the look of a 18x10 wheel but im not sure the negative side affects to a 10" wide wheel.

Those are the wheels I like the most not sure how they would be for driving daily or if they will even fit and if they do fit is it as simple as throwing them on the car or is there trimming, or rolling of some sort. If anyone can give me some better insight on this I would greatly appreciate it because I don't want to lose "drive ability" out the car.

They're heavier than a 8.5/9/9.5 of the same wheel, and they usually require rolled fenders. Aside from that nothing majorly negative.

Positive would be the ability to fit wider tires (which are also heavier, but should provide more grip).

Ok awesome and you don't think they will rub?

With rolled fenders and 265 tires probably not. With 275 tires usually yes it will rub.

On 9.5 and 265's almost definitely no rubbing.
