FC's with 18's
I think the flat black looks awesome. If I were to ever get another black FC, I would go with flat black.
18's are fine on an FC .... AS LONG AS YOU DONT RUN FAT SIDEWALL TIRES!
Rishies FCs are perfect examples of why they can fit well on an FC with a low profile tire. some widths on an 18" tire have a lower overall tire diameter than in 17" because of shorter sidewalls. mustang/camaro use much taller tires and they can look really stupid on an FC, like 4x4 or innertube style = lame.
case in point... my FC on 17" wheels with 275 and 285 tires was almost goofy with tires at 26" o.d., but now with 18" 285/295 in 30 series sidewalls yields a 25" o.d. so the car is a half inch lower to the ground and also a half inch more clearance to the top of the inner fender.
here's my wide FC on 18" ssr sp1s (sorry the paint blows)-

FYI, those must be LE37K's because of the machined lip. Discontinued.

i am a big fan of stagered wheels... i run 17x9 +12 on the front and i currently i run 18x9 +30 on the back... soon to be replaced my 18x10 +19s.. havent touched the guards yet... might need to roll the rears when the new wheels go on...
