so im thinking of getting some wheels in the next 2 months

i like the rota G-force 18x9s, but are they gonna stick out at all. and what size tire do i need, i would like the tire to be flat with the rim, so like not stretched but the tire not to go over the rim if anyone nos what i mean. post pics if you have these wheels or pics you have with tire sizes/specs. and i dont want spacers or have to roll my fenders or shave anything. if these just wont work then ill get p45fs but please post info about these wheels if you have it, thanks

go with a 235/40(or 45)-18 tire on a 18x8.5 rim. You will have a straight sidewall tire and that should fit without modification as its the stock tire width. You are especally safe if you are not lowered at all. Type of rim will make little, I would think no, difference as the width should be constant from rim to rim. If you do go with a 18x9 go for a 255 section tire for the straight sidewall look, but be warned, even with stock ride hieght you MAY and probably will need to shave or roll the rear fenders.

so what size exactly tire for a strait side wall for the 18x9 rota g-force, or do they have a 18x8.5 g force. if they do then ill get that, or the same stype as the g force. so can some one answere these questions for me, and what is rolling the fenders mean

18x9 G-force tire size with strait sidewall that looks good, like 40 or 35 or 45, what

what other wheel that looks about identical to the g force wheels, but 18x8.5 and what size tire, if they have the G-force in 18x8.5 then ill get them, and ill take them to a shop and check out a couple diff sizes of tires

if anyone has pics, please post them, thanks

EDIT: so i like these wheels: 18x8.5 +30 Volk ce28n's Diamond Black, but with what tire on stock suspension and swift springs

On a 9" wide rim you need at least a 255 section tire to get a 'straight' sidewall. Profile will not make much difference and I am not sure there are many if any tires that are a different profile than 255/35-18.

Rolling the fenders is not a huge deal, but it is body modification and most shops will do it, but they warn you could crack the paint. I would have them shaved to avoid cracking, but there is still the possibility of damage...

Im pretty sure the g-force is just a replica cast wheel of the volk ce28s which are a fully forged rim costing around 700 a piece i think as opposed to 700 for a set like the rotas.

If you go for the volks, 18x8.5 with a 235/40(45)-18 tire (I would go with Bidgestone Potenze RE-01Rs) and they SHOULD fit without modification to the car. You are looking at probably 4000+ for a set of mounted volk rims... just fyi. I might be wrong on the price per rim, but I cant be far off. Good luck!
