thanks man, i don't think they only come in 18x8 and 18x9, a guy in a wheel shop offer me 9'5 on the back. maybe he did a mistake, ill have to check it out but if the 18x9 have a big lip on the wheel and if they stick almost to the back fender ill buy them too. just want to know if 18x8 is ok in the front? anyone knows?

hey bro i check and you are correct, they come in 18x8 and 18x9 only in 18''. they only come 8'5 and 9'5 in 19'' and 20''. i wish i could go 19 but i think it will affect a little with my car being drop to the ground. and also my performance.

thanks

This depends on what suspension you have.

The safe way, with coilovers, is to go 8" +30 and 9.0" +30 to +40.
