If you want to keep performance up, I'd say nothing bigger than 18's. You can even run a 17" wheel, but stay away from anything bigger than 18's. Also, look into lightweight wheels (i.e., Enkei's), and forged wheels (i.e., Volks).

tbh, I think KBP Type-S' look the best on stock wheels once they're dropped. That's just my opinion though. If you want light bro, I'd check out some Enkei RPF-1's.

if your going to stay on performance look into volks. Maybe a bit pricey but the are an excellent wheel.

agreed, 18s are a good combo for performance and looks, provided you have a drop of some sort. When i went to 19s (OZs were 28lbs, my new ronjons are 26.8), I noticed a drop from accelerating from a stop. And now, i especially see a drop in fuel economy. If 19s didnt look so good, i would probably switch them out for a lighted set or for some aspec 18s.

You shouldn't need any. Unless you get wider tires then it could be a possibly. I had 18x9.5 +38, which is a 1mm smaller than yours from the fender. So yeah.

A member on here had those exact AME FS-01s (18x9 +31), but his tires were rubbing. He is lowered though.
