Well I think you asked the wrong question. Maybe the how wide you can go? Have you searched the FS section? What style of wheel are you looking for? (lip, no lip, ect.) Be more specific in what you are looking for, it makes it easier for others to help you. BTW whta's the price range you are looking to spend on wheels?

Enkei 92's very nice, I think most mesh wheels would look good.

Are you kidding me? As stated, that would stick out way too far from the stock fender unless you flare the body, stretch the tire, and/or run excessive negative camber. And if you're going to do all that just to run an "aggressive" offset wheel, why not go wider towards the center of the car some more since the OP wants to go as wide as possible?

thank you and well put, since im stock. however i was hooked up with some tiens (at least thats whats written on them) the car is pretty low as it is and on really bad 18s with low pro that im just hating, so i think its time for some new shoes in the near future. so i want something smaller with more meat on them but i dont want a this tire. i guess somthing deep dishy. lol i dont know, now i feel like im getting too specific. ive seen some inexpensive sport maxxs that are pretty close to what im looking for if all.

the sportmax/xxr wheels are cheap and easy to find. brand new about 300-350 for a set. but try and search for some nice mesh like those enkei 92's. craigslist usually has some good deals on them.
