Those are nice but the offset might be too low.

you might be able to get away with it because I had 19x7.5 with a +45 offset lowered on comptech springs and had no rubbing issues at all, so you may be alright.

18X7 with +42 should be fine, even if lowered. This combo is not even close to stock specs. Not feelin' that wheel.

RH 18's come only in 7.5, not 7".

'PPRECIATE THE INPUT FELLA'S.................WHAT I MEANT BY CLOSE TO STOCK WAS THE 7 INCH WIDTH AND THE ABILITY TO USE A 215/45-18 SEEING AS THOUGH THE STOCK IS 215/50-17.

How about we give him advice on the wheel specs, not whether or not you like the style.

18x7 +42 will fit just fine, even with a significant drop.

Do it if you like them.

I TYPE IN CAPS 'CAUSE I CAN..................

AS FOR THE REST, I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT FELLA'S. I GOT THE ANSWER I WAS LOOKING FOR, WEITHER OR NOT THE SETUP WOULD WORK OR NOT. I SEE THAT THIS PARTICULAR RIM IS'NT A FAN FAVORITE, BUT I DO RESPECT EVERYONE'S OPINION.
