do a search. there are a couple of threads that i can remember looking at in the past couple of years with your exact question. ive seen pics with the 03 cobra rims on the rear but there was just no way in hell that they would fit on the front of the car.

the rear is very close and if you were to put such wide tires on the car, then you might wanna cut the fenders up a couple of inches and put fender flares on it.

i think it would look really fat, id do it my self but i dont wanna cut my fenders and F things up.

good luck

chris

P.S. USE THE SEARCH, it works, i promise.

I've never heard of anyone running more then an 8 inch wide wheel in the front without rubbing problems.

the typical set up is 17x8 in the front and 17x9 in the back with a +35 offset, I'm not sure about 18s though, but I assume it should be the same, but with more potential for rubbing.
