I was thinking about getting these in 18X8. I think the titanium would look tight with the silver. Anyone got pics?

 

Why 8 x 18? The stock wheels are 8-inches wide? Minimum width for an 18 should be 9 inches!

 

Yeah, I didnt think they made a wider one, but now i see they do. I am thinking 18X8 in front and 18X9 in rear. Anyone got pics? or can photochop em?

 

you should 9 x 18 all around with 255/35-18

 

Can you put wider tires in the rear?? like 265?

 

Its not an FD, but this may give you some sort idea...

17 x 9 w/ 255's and 17 x 8 w/ 225's

Why do you want wider tires in back?

295/35-18 on 10.5 or 11 x 18
285/30-18 on 10 x 18
265/35-18 on 9.5 x 18
255/35-18 on 9 x 18
225/40-18 on 8 x 18.

When choosing wheels the priority should be as follows for MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE:

Tire width
Tire overall diameter
Tire sidewall profile (aspect ratio, 17? or 18?)
Wheel weight/strength (light but strong)
Wheel width/diameter
Wheel offset and backspacing
Wheel Style (mesh, spokes, chrome, polish, etc).

Notice the first prioirty are the tires. HP, suspension, brakes, are NOTHING without the outstanding tires. The 4 patches of rubber you lay down on the road are what transfers your car's potential to the viewing public. It's alway all about the rubber!

Note that style is LAST ON THE PRIORITY LIST.

Of course of you're into the bling bling wheel culture, and like "dubs" (20-inch rims) then you'd reverse the priority list.

Most of us on the wheel board are all about performance, and less about bling bling!

Anyhow, stick to the above tire/rim guidelines, and you'll be good regardless of which culture you belong to...
