Thats not really much of an upgrade. The front wheels are .5" narrower than stock wheels....

Not recommended. They're too narrow, and the offsets are nasty. Sunken battleship anyone? I mean, if they're free maybe.

'Real' 18 inch fitment that has proven to work with rolled fenders:
18x9.5 +38 F, 18x10 +32 R
255/35 F 265/35 R

with OEM fenders:
18x9 +45 F, 18x10 +43 R
255/35 R 275/35 R

^^Listen to this man. If you check his build thread you will see that all of his wheels have damn good fitment. Now I purchased my set being conservative at 18x8.5 +42 F, and 18x9.5 +40R and I got a bit of the sunken battleship look. So lately I've been thinking about investing some money on spacers.

Check it out:




Now your friend's wheels are a whole inch narrower than mine and the offsets are even higher? ooof! no way bro...
