If you were to replace your 18" stock rims with a different set of 18s.. would they still be as 'tucked' in as our stock rims? assuming stock offset is 45... with an offset of 42 on some other 18s.. they would probably be a bit further out with our stock tires?

 

get a wider than stock rim to fill the gap better, if the replacement is the same size it will most likely appear the same way (assuming the offset doesnt switch much)....but why go 18's again? if ur gonna change out the rim, go at least a +1

 

yah...i was just looking for a cheap fast and dirty upgrade to get the rims to stick out more and saving cash by using the stock 18" tires.

 

If you go with 8" wide rims and, for example, 40mm offset, that will put the outside face of the wheel [1/4" (wheel width) + 5mm (offset)] ~= 1/2" further toward the outside of the car.

I would highly recommend against using spacers.

 

opinions? or are these just too blingy and ugly?

18x8
offset 42
5x114.3

 

I think chrome wheels are a highly personal taste thing.

Personally, I think most of them (including these shown) look like speed-shop wheels.

 

What do the '07 18" stock rims weigh? Anybody? I'm just being lazy and am not researching this myself...

 

i think i read they weight around 27 lbs without tires
